Some hotels call a treadmill and three dumbbells a gym. So, if you want to make sure that your hotel stay will feature a state-of-the-art fitness center, call before you book to get specifics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eat breakfast:<\/strong> Stay away from heavy foods like greasy bacon or buttery waffles. They\u2019ll only make you feel sluggish after a few rides.<\/p>\n<p>Try some of these breakfast solutions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oatmeal with blueberries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Hard-boiled egg and a slice of whole wheat toast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Scrambled eggs and a bowl of fruit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Low-fat yogurt smoothie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Stay hydrated:<\/strong> Avoid soda, even <strong><a title=\"diet soda\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/02\/daily-diet-soda-linked-to-heart-attack\/\" target=\"_self\">diet soda<\/a><\/strong>, sugary juice and frozen drinks.
