Do You Schedule Time to Exercise During Travel?

When you travel, do you schedule time to exercise?  Whether you’re exploring a new city, relaxing on the beach, or out of town for work, making time to workout can help keep you healthy while you travel.  Research shows that regular physical activity can help reduce your risk for several diseases and health conditions and improve your overall quality of life.

Many hotels and cruise lines often offer workout rooms that you can use.  Some are better than others.  But if a hotel gym workout doesn’t appeal to you, you can also exercise in your room with workout DVDs or portable exercise bands.  And remember, walking is a form of exercise-- you can walk just about anywhere for free.

The best thing to do is to plan ahead and get yourself mentally focused on moving your body is some way while you’re away from home.
