We\u2019ve all heard about those beautiful spa and fitness resorts where you travel to a beautiful part of the country and spend a week eating only delicious, low-calorie food, working out with fun and unique activities, and spending a lot of time just relaxing with a massage or some meditation. Ah, it just sounds glorious. But what if a fitness spa retreat isn\u2019t in your summer vacation budget or you just don’t have a full week to dedicate? You create a weight-loss spa at home, that’s what!<\/p>\n

The people over at Shane Diet Resorts<\/a><\/strong>, a weight-loss spa located 90 minutes from New York City in the Catskill mountains, recently released a guide to re-creating a day at their resort at home. Read on for an hour-by-hour plan for having the best and healthiest staycation ever, no matter your budget or timeline!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"weight-loss-spa\"<\/a>Your Weight-Loss Spa at Home Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n

8 am \u2014 <\/strong>Wake up, stretch<\/a><\/strong> and then head out for a walk to get your body going for the day. Walking<\/a> <\/strong>is the single best activity for losing weight. Bring along your iPod to listen to a book or your favorite music.<\/p>\n

9 am \u2014 <\/strong>Eat a healthy breakfast of two scrambled eggs, a banana, and a piece of whole wheat toast with jelly and a little butter. This\u00a0nutritious\u00a0breakfast will jump-start your metabolism for the day, preventing you from overeating later.<\/p>\n

10 am \u2014<\/strong> Take a long bike ride. If you don\u2019t own a bike, rent one. (You can spring for the rental cost for a few hours, since you didn\u2019t splurge on a trip to the resort, after all!) Try exploring a new area of your neighborhood or a scenic park to mix up your routine and keep it exciting.<\/p>\n

Noon \u2014 <\/strong>Facial time! Mix a ripe banana with 1 teaspoon of honey and a few drops of lemon juice. Then, apply to your face for 15 minutes and rinse with a steaming washcloth. This is great for oily skin.<\/p>\n

1 pm \u2014<\/strong> It’s time to fuel up again. Prepare a healthy lunch of Greek salad with low-fat dressing and a whole wheat pita. Opt for a fresh peach as your dessert.<\/p>\n

2 pm \u2014 <\/strong>Practice yoga. Clear your mind with a class at your local gym, or try a free online podcast. This is great for both settling your mind and challenging your body.<\/p>\n

3 pm \u2014 <\/strong>At Shane Diet Resorts, guests take classes to learn techniques for healthy food preparation at home. Try cooking a new recipe<\/a><\/strong> for fun, such as banana bran muffins to have for breakfast the rest of the week.<\/p>\n

5 pm \u2014 <\/strong>Try interval running either on a treadmill or outdoors. Alternate 1-minute intervals of fast sprinting with a 1-minute recovery jog in between. This type of training enables you to burn more calories in less time, along with quickly building your cardio endurance.<\/p>\n

7 pm \u2014<\/strong> For dinner, prepare a piece of grilled chicken with mango salsa. Be sure to watch the portions on your side dishes though. Try \u00bd cup of steamed brown rice and 1 cup of steamed zucchini with herbs to fill you up.<\/p>\n

8 pm \u2014 <\/strong>Take some time to relax and wind down for the night. See a movie with a friend, or dive into a favorite novel followed by a warm bath. And lastly, get a good night\u2019s sleep. You’ve earned it!<\/p>\n

Sounds great, doesn’t it? A lovely day of activity, good food and spending time focusing on just you and your health!<\/p>\n
