Introduction
I’ve been traveling for business for about eight years now, and I’ve learned a lot about how to stay fit while on the road. It’s not easy, but it can be done if you plan ahead and keep your eyes open. Here are my best tips:
Pack your workout gear.
- Pack your workout gear. If you’re going to be gone for more than a few days, it’s best to pack some clothes that are comfortable and easy to exercise in. You don’t want to spend all day in uncomfortable clothing when all you want is to get out and move!
- Bring water bottles or other containers that hold liquids with you so that when you need them during the day, they won’t be hard for anyone else around (or yourself) to find–and make sure they’re easy-to-open ones so no one gets hurt trying too hard! If possible, bring more than one container so everyone has access if needed at once during an emergency situation when everyone needs something different from each other quickly before heading back out again into dangerous territory where there aren’t any stores nearby anymore either due because of war damage or maybe just because there wasn’t much left after looters came through first time around…
Do a little research.
Before you leave, do some research on the area you’re traveling to. If there’s a gym nearby, find out what it is and if it has the equipment that you need. If there are parks and hiking trails in the area, look them up online so that when you arrive in town, they won’t be a surprise!
You may also want to check out local bike rental shops (if there are any) before leaving home so that when you get there, all of those options will be available without having to spend hours researching them yourself.
Find a gym or health club.
Find a gym or health club.
Looking for a place to work out? You don’t have to travel far to find one. Look for gyms and health clubs near your hotel, as well as ones that are open 24/7, offer free trial memberships, or provide discounted rates for travelers like you.
Hit the road early or late when it’s less busy.
If you’re traveling with a group, this is a great time to get together and do something active.
If you are by yourself, try waking up early or staying out late so that you can avoid peak hours at the gym and on the road. In addition to being less crowded, these times will also be less noisy–and therefore easier on your ears. If getting up early isn’t possible for whatever reason (like if you have children), then consider finding another location besides the gym; try using an app like MapMyRun or Strava which helps users find running routes in their area based on their preferences (such as distance) and fitness level/ability).
Enjoy some exercising in nature.
- Find a park or nature trail. You can enjoy the scenery and get some exercise in one fell swoop.
- Find a gym or health club. If you don’t want to spend money on membership fees before you even know if the place is worth it, try out different gyms in your area until you find one that works for you–but make sure they have at least one treadmill!
- Bring your own workout equipment with you on the plane (if allowed). This will save space in your luggage and allow for more room for other things like clothes or souvenirs from wherever it is that you’re going on vacation!
- Do yoga or pilates–they’re great exercises because they focus specifically on flexibility instead of strength training like most other workouts do, which makes them much easier than running laps around an indoor track all day long without stopping once…unless maybe there’s someone else doing it too? Then maybe we could talk about how awesome teamwork would be!
You don’t have to give up being fit just because you’re on the road
You don’t have to give up being fit just because you’re on the road. There are gyms and health clubs in most major cities, as well as exercise equipment in most hotels. If you want to work out at any hour of the day or night, there are also 24/7 facilities available to meet your needs.
You can find these options on sites like www.gymfinders.com and www.hotel-gyms.com, which list locations all over the world where travelers can get their workout on!
Conclusion
Travelling can be stressful and take a lot out of you, but it doesn’t have to leave you out of shape. With a little bit of planning, you can stay fit while travelling and even enjoy some exercise along the way. Whether it’s packing your workout gear or finding a gym near where you’re staying, there are lots of options available that don’t require much time or money spent on them!
