Travel workout: Fitness tips for business travelers
When you?re traveling for business, you can stick to your fitness routine ? seriously! Use these simple travel-workout tips to maintain your fitness program when you?re away from home.
By Mayo Clinic staff
If your job keeps you on the road, you know how challenging it can be to maintain your fitness program. Hours of travel and back-to-back meetings may leave little room in your schedule for a travel workout ? but exercise isn?t a lost cause. A little dedication and planning can help you stay in shape when you?re traveling. Consider these simple travel-workout tips.
Pack for fitness
Before your trip, contact the hotel and ask about on-site or nearby fitness facilities ? then pack accordingly. Your travel-workout essentials may include:
Athletic shoes
Exercise clothing
Swimsuit
Jump-rope
Resistance tubing
Tennis racket
Music and headphones
Exercise video or DVD
Weightlifting gloves
For a different type of travel workout, you might ask the hotel staff about renting in-line skates or a bicycle.
Start right away
Wear your walking shoes when you travel. If you?re traveling by train, walk through the cars occasionally. Walk outdoors when the train stops to let passengers on and off. If you?re driving, take frequent breaks to get out and stretch. Even a short walk around a rest area can boost your mood and energy level.
