Once you get into the habit of including everyday aerobic activities, muscle endurance and stretching in your workweek, regardless of where you are, you will find yourself seeking opportunities for exercise - even when you're out of town. Here are some tips for taking your (fitness) show on the road.
Walk around the airport while waiting for a flight instead of heading for the nearest newspaper stand or restaurant. Walk instead of riding on moving airport walkways. Take advantage of hotel facilities. Many hotels have on-site fitness rooms, video collections that may include fitness tapes, or will bring fitness equipment to your room. Others can arrange discounted workouts at nearby health clubs. If you belong to a health club, ask if it has sister clubs that you can visit while on business travel. Chart a workout course in your hotel. Walk the length of the hotel's hallways, using the stairs to climb from one floor to the next. Note where the fire exits are. (Before getting started, check on which floors you can exit the stairwell.) Explore new cities on foot. For example, go on an early morning or between-meeting walk. Consult with hotel staff who can help you chart a safe and scenic course. Check with the concierge on a safe walk to a nearby restaurant. Pack light hand and ankle weights, a jump rope or a resistant elastic band for quick, hotel room workouts. Do a few minutes of stretching exercises before going to sleep. |
