Taking your health and fitness on the road

Nothing takes the luster off a great trip like stepping on the scale and discovering that you’ve gained weight.

As certified personal trainer Lynn Bode says, “A vacation can do wonders for reducing stress levels, but it can derail a healthy fitness regimen.” Writing on the Topend Sports website, Bode points out that even some of the most die-hard exercisers find it difficult to stick with a workout program when away from home.

That’s why the Rose Hotel goes to great lengths to make sure guests like you are provided with practical fitness options – both for exercise and nutrition.

Indeed, the Campbell’s Nutrition & Wellness website says the change of scenery while traveling can invigorate the energy level and provide exciting opportunities for trying new exercises in interesting places.

The Rose Hotel concurs with that line of thinking and the personnel at our front desk are equipped with the guidance you’ll need to stay fit and eating right during your stay. Among the fitness resources at your disposal are:

• Running maps that chart three-mile and five-mile running jaunts
• Directions and maps to nearby hiking and biking trails. Information can be found on the East Bay Regional Park District website
• Guest passes to ClubSport health club, one of the finest in the Bay Area, with facilities and services that include two outdoor swimming pools, indoor tennis and basketball courts, group exercise classes, wellness seminars, nutrition counseling, spa and café, among many other options
• Restful sleep in our elegant and quiet rooms far from freeway traffic
• A healthy, complimentary breakfast every morning in the hotel lobby featuring, among other items, fresh fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese and granola cereal
• A plethora of terrific restaurants within easy walking distance along Main Street in historic downtown Pleasanton. They offer delicious and healthy options in cuisines ranging from Italian, Mexican, steak and seafood to tropical fusion, Chinese and continental
• If you prefer to shop, you can do that on foot as well. Shops of all kinds line Main Street. Get your exercise and your bling all at once.

In its report on Exercising While Traveling, the American College of Sports Medicine says with advance planning your exercise program can be incorporated into your travel schedule.

At the Rose Hotel we do the advance planning for you. Come stay with us soon, for business or pleasure, and we’ll make sure you have the resources you need to stay fit and well nourished.

And we’ll make sure you don’t tip the scale in the wrong direction when the trip is over.
