Take a Walk
When your shop docks at a port of call, consider a
walk into town rather than taking a taxi or shuttle. In order to make life as
easy as possible, there will always be shuttle buses or taxis available on the
pier to whisk you into the main area of town. Don’t use them!
Avoid taking vehicles into town whenever possible.
Usually, you will find you can get to the same area in less than
15 minutes by walking.
Sometimes, as is the case in heavy traffic ports such as St.
Thomas, it can even be quicker to walk than to take the shuttle or taxi.
Not only will you partake in some good, simple exercise and save
the cost of the ride, but you will also enjoy a much closer interaction with
each destination.
Many other destinations, such as beaches and shopping centers, can
also be easily reached on foot.
Take the Stairs
Given that most ships have anywhere between 10 to 20 decks these
days, it is understandable that using the elevators seems completely necessary.
But would it really be so much trouble to use the stairs?
Unless you require assistive devices, walking up and down a flight
or two of stairs provides one of the easiest methods of continuous exercise.
It is an excellent way to inject several short, yet very
effective, workouts into your daily vacation routine.
Of course you don’t need to take the stairs every time you need to
go somewhere, but if you make sure you use them several times a day, you will
certainly benefit.
Be sure to take your time on the stairs and don’t rush. Trying to
climb faster or step down two stairs at once will not increase the benefits and
can actually put unnatural pressure on your knees.
