Upcoming vacay? What better motive to shed those extra kilos, fit into those fave tights and indulge in some good-old mirror vanity.

Talk yourself into switching to health mode a couple of months in advance. Watch what you eat. Cut the sugar. Fluid up. Keep tabs on long working hours. You could even get used to the discipline.

Workout at home, cultivate a walking habit or hit the gym. Commit to anything that works for you. Just wake up those stiff muscles and get back that form. Bonus with the killer abs and beach body? Pumped up metabolism, loaded stamina, charged mind and alert senses. 12-hour flight? Mountain hike? River canoeing? Bring it on.

Always keep sanitizer, gloves and mask handy. You can never be too careful.
