Who doesn\u2019t love going on vacation? Getting away from work and spending more time with family and friends is such a wonderful mind rejuvenator. But if you\u2019re one of those people who find that going on a holiday doesn\u2019t do much good to your waistline, then you\u2019ve got plenty of company. Although, experts do agree that going on holidays may increase your weight, there are many little tricks you can adopt to ensure that your body stays just the same.
\n1) A holiday resort or hotel means there\u2019s plenty of great food available at your fingertips. But be cautious. Just like you would say no to a 1000 calorie cheeseburger or stick to a green salad minus the cream dressing, be sensible about your food choices. Sample the local cuisine and enjoy smaller portions. Don\u2019t overload your tummy with more food than it can actually handle.
\n2) Most people go overboard with alcohol and desserts when they\u2019re on holiday. Indulge by all means but remember that anything you eat comes with an unwanted companion- calories. The more you consume, the harder you\u2019ll have to work out to burn everything off!
\n3) Begin your day with a wholesome and nutritious breakfast. It will give you the start that you need and help you make wiser food choices throughout the day.
\n4) Worried that you may start craving for a few snacks with all that physical activity? Pack some nuts, muesli bars, dried fruit, whole-wheat crackers and cereal before you leave home.
\n5) Get as much exercise as you can. The best way to see more of a new place is by walking or cycling. Many tourist destinations offer guided walking tours which lets you meet other tourists as well. Check if your hotel offers cycles which can be rented by the hour. It\u2019s a great way to burn more calories and spend some quality time with the family.
\n6) Try to stick to your routine. When you\u2019re at home, you attend your martial arts training<\/a> classes religiously 3 times a week in the evenings. If your body is used to a particular fitness regime, there\u2019s no reason why you can\u2019t continue with it even when you\u2019re on holiday. You can still practise all those great martial arts moves in the privacy of your room and stay fit as well. Alternatively, enjoy a good warm up session at the hotel gym too.
\n7) Don’t leave out the fun elements. For instance, if your hotel or resort is by the beach, don\u2019t forget to pack an inflatable ball and Frisbees. You won\u2019t realise how many calories you\u2019re burning with all the fun you\u2019ll have.
\n8) If you’re having a more sedentary holidays remember, less exercise than usual means you’ll require fewer calories too, ie if you’re exercising less, eat a little less, so that you keep things in balance.
\n9) If you’re full, stop eating!<\/p>\n

Have a great holiday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Of course then I was in primary school and martial arts was mainly for fun, but over time I became more serious about my training. In 1992 I started teaching, and by 1998 I had opened my own club. Over the next few years the club continued to grow opening in more locations and adding more classes at the old locations. These were of course old school and church halls, and teaching children of all levels and ages together, and adults of all levels together. As the club continued to grow I started to feel that there had to be a better way to teach - you would never put year one and year seven students in the same class at school, so why did we do it teaching martial arts. Of course you wouldn't expect them to learn the same things either. I also felt that adults weren't getting all they could from the classes in a one size fits all format. In addition to this, I wanted to take a more holistic approach to training, looking at all aspects of physical and mental health. In 2002 I decided the way forward was a full-time facility that could integrate all these aspects of health, and that would allow classes to be split by age and experience level. It took two years and a couple of false starts to find the right location, and in late 2004 work started on BTC. In 2011 we purchased and custom fitted our own building. Since then the centre has continued to go from strength to strength and developed a solid reputation as a leader in the martial arts and sports industry. We have also managed to maintain a friendly family orientated and social atmosphere within the club. My personal background was originally in martial arts, although I formally studied Science at QUT. Over the years I broadened both my martial arts knowledge and general knowledge of health and well being. My aim is to help every student achieve their personal goals and exceed their every expectation. I believe the enthusiasm and desire for constant and never ending improvement that I bring to my personal life and to every class is infectious, and will ultimately help every student in achieving their personal goal. Further, the holistic approach I take to developing a person as a whole, and the martial arts I teach as a whole, has led to the development of a very unique, innovative, and modern approach to a centuries old tradition. Our classes include the best aspects of body mechanics, sports psychology, boxing, yoga, tai chi, pilates, diet & nutrition and much more. All of this has led to the creation of a fun, safe, effective, and easy to learn system of teaching and style of martial art. Of course much of what has been achieved over the past few years is thanks to our great team, and the hundreds of loyal and passionate members of all of BTC's activities.
