Traveling Does Not Have to be Lazy!

Sometimes when I travel I start to feel sluggish because I am out of my workout routine. Here are some suggestions to help squeeze in some workout time while you are away from home.

  • Check to see if your hotel has a gym. Pack your tennis shoes and hit the gym, then cool off in the pool!

  • If your hotel does not have a gym, but has a pool, go for a swim! Swimming is a great calorie burner.

  • Check out the area you are staying in to see what kinds of running trails they have. Pack your shoes and soak up the sun as you run through a new place!

  • Pack some resistance bands and workout right in your hotel room. They weigh almost nothing and hardly take up any space.

  • Pick up an issue of SELF magazine and complete the workout on the tear-out cards. Most of them do not require any equipment.

  • Go sight seeing! You will see so many interesting things that you won't even realize how much you walked.
