Stay Fit While Traveling

When you are on the go it’s hard to make time to exercise. Even die-hard fitness buffs may find it hard to keep up with an exercise routine when traveling. The good news is that with a bit of planning and just pair of sneakers, it’s easy to get a work out in just about anywhere.

Here are some creative ways to stay fit while away from your home.

1. Most hotels have a fitness center or pool. Inquire before your trip so you pack the right exercise attire. If a fitness center is not available consider walking the hotel halls. Think of it like swimming laps – just stay out of housekeeping’s way!
2. Watch an exercise DVD, a cable television exercise show or load up your computer with your favorite workout programs. With just a few feet of space, you can work out in your room. Even 30 minutes of exercise can help you stay on track and feel good.
3. Explore the area you are visiting. Look for walking trails, or safe streets to get in a walk or a jog. If you are in a new location, check with the hotel concierge or consult a trusted local source to find out some interesting and safe places to go. Always obey local traffic laws, and think about bringing someone with you.
4. Check out a local gym. Sometimes it’s fun to get out of your element and try a new class with a new instructor, or different group of people. Many gyms offer day or weekly passes so you can sweat it out even while away from home.
5. Plan a local event. Why not register for a 5K walk or run where you will be located during your travel? You might meet new people, reconnect with old friends and enjoy new scenery.
