You know what it\u2019s like when you try to be active but find out just how out of shape you really are? Yeah, that happened to me earlier\u00a0this month. I also have a new appreciation for good all-around foot care (or lack of it) due to the miles and miles of Disney theme park grounds we covered. With this in mind, it seemed only fitting to write about avoiding foot pain or foot problems at theme parks as part of this year\u2019s CVS Find Your Healthy Campaign.<\/p>\n

Walking, Walking, Standing, and More Walking<\/h3>\n

I walked more in one week than I probably did for the past year and it was rough. I even participated in an athletic run and, even though it was only one mile, I ended up walking for most of it since it seriously wore me out. But you know what really took a beating during all of that? My feet. Spending seven full days at Walt Disney World<\/a> in Orlando, Florida was torture on my poor feet and on those of the family members traveling with me. Just look at the screenshots from the activity tracker on Munchkin’s phone to see how much we were on the move! Crazy!<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re in the parks, though, it\u2019s not just leisurely walking around either. Oh, no. We\u2019re talking about hours inching along in line, trudging from sun up to sun down on unforgiving asphalt, heat and humidity swelling your already water-retaining tootsies, and standing still while trying not to collapse during the parade and firework shows.<\/p>\n

9 Tips to Avoid Foot Pain or Foot Problems at Theme Parks<\/h3>\n

Well, at least it wasn\u2019t as bad as it could have been. We tried to put into practice some good food care tips to lessen the after effects. I\u2019m happy to say that none of us had more than one blister and, even then, there wasn\u2019t much pain or irritation. Maybe these tips will help you too during your next full day of being on your feet.<\/p>\n
