Visit during a run<\/em>Disney event for a fit and fun vacay. Photo: Courtesy Walt Disney World<\/p><\/div>\n

Going on vacation can wreak havoc on your fitness routine. Between dining out for every meal and skipping your weekly cycle class, it\u2019s easy to return from vacation a few pounds heavier than when you left.<\/p>\n

Walt Disney World<\/a> makes it easy to stay fit while enjoying your vacation.\u00a0 Here are the top five ways you can work in your workout while at Walt Disney World:<\/p>\n

Hit the ground running<\/b>
\nRunning around Walt Disney World is not only a great way to get fit, but it\u2019s a great way to tour the resorts and property. Many of the Walt Disney World resorts offer jogging trails and maps of where to run nearby. My favorite jogging trail is between Disney\u2019s Grand Floridian and Polynesian resorts; this jogging trail offers beautiful views of the Seven Seas Lagoon. Disney\u2019s Coronado Springs offers a \u00be-mile jogging trail around Lago Dorado. If you stay near the Boardwalk area, such as Disney\u2019s Yacht and Beach Club, Boardwalk, Swan or Dolphin resorts, you can run on the boardwalk and Crescent Lake. Make sure to pick up a map of the jogging trails, which can be found on allears.net<\/a>. Of course you can also plan your vacationaround a run<\/i>Disney<\/a> event to make fitness the main event.<\/p>\n

Lap it up<\/b>
\nMany of the Walt Disney World resorts have \u201cQuiet Pools,\u201d in addition to the main theme pool. The main pool has activities, slides, games and entertainment, while the quiet pool is designed for those who want to swim for fitness or leisure. The quiet pools allow guests to swim laps, although they don\u2019t have divided swim lanes. My favorite is the Casitas Quiet Pool at Coronado Springs. This pool is located near the Health Club and its big enough to swim laps. If you visit early in the morning you have a great chance of being able to have the pool all to yourself.<\/p>\n

<\/b>Stay fit<\/strong>
\nWalt Disney World has some of the best state-of-the-art fitness centers around. I personally love the newly re-imagined fitness center at Disney\u2019s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.\u00a0 The fitnesscenter has everything you need to stay fit, including free weights, treadmills, elliptical trainers, strength training equipment and Pilates balls. The locker room is luxurious. You will want to work out here just so you can go to the locker room to shower, slip on a robe and relax. It\u2019s that good.<\/p>\n

Take a ride<\/b>
\nWalt Disney World offers bicycle rentals for fitness or leisure. You can rent a surrey bike and tour the resort or hit the trails nearby. You can rent bikes at several Walt Disney World resorts, including Wilderness Lodge, Caribbean Beach Resort, BoardWalk Inn, Old Key West Resort, Port Orleans and Coronado Springs.<\/p>\n

Make a splash<\/b>
\nFor those who are seeking adventure and fitness, consider some of the many water sports that Disney offers. From kayak rentals to tubing to parasailing, there is something for everyone.<\/p>\n
