When Travel Disrupts Your Workout Routine

Whether you’re on vacation or away on business, exercise can take on a new form while you’re on the road.  So when your exercise routine is not possible, be flexible and enjoy something new and different. 

When you are on vacation relaxing, sometimes it will feel good to get some exercise.  Especially after all the extra eating we may do on vacation, exercising will definitely be a plus.  When you’re out of town on business, you may be tired of the same old hotel fitness centers with their basic treadmills and weights.  Why not give your normal workout routine a vacation too? 

There are several ways you can get a good workout while you’re traveling or on vacation. You don’t have to use any of your regular workout routines. Thinking outside the box! On the road exercise variety: 

Take a walk.  Explore your new surroundings on foot, doing a little sightseeing at a brisk, work-up-a-sweat pace will make the time fly by.

Engage in some water fun.  If you’re near the ocean, go swimming, surfing, snorkeling or gather some players for a lively game of beach volleyball.  (On my vacation, I really enjoyed kayaking)

Think pedal power.  Rent a bike and cycle the city, it’s a great way to explore all the while burning calories.

Play a game.  Have some fun and check out a local course and hit a round or two of golf (if you golf, I don’t) or play a few friendly games of tennis on a local court.

Go shopping.  Walking briskly through a mall or hitting the streets while carrying packages can be good exercise.

Take a hike.  On vacation or on the road with work, you will usually find a good hiking trail nearby.  Head out for a healthy hike. 

Ultimately, when out of town, whether with work or for pleasure, all you will need is your jogging shoes.  You can always find local parks and trails.  Another option would be to work out in your hotel room.  Travel with your resistance bands or jump ropes and work out right in your own hotel room.

Don’t use traveling as an excuse not to exercise!  With a little planning and if you’re up for something new, traveling can be a great excuse to vary your workout routine and try something you might never have a chance to do at home.  Happy Travels!!!
