The
prospect of traveling can fill a person with anticipation. It can also be
fraught with stress, what with the toll that a long journey can take on a
person, the demands of a working trip, and a full schedule. Be sure to include fitness into
your plans. You
will feel better, be able to handle the pressures that are placed on your
shoulders, and have a more positive experience.
Stay on the Move as Often as Possible
If you
are driving to your destination, plan breaks along the way to get out in move.
Sitting for too long is dangerous for your health and can lead to fatigue as
well. Pull over at a rest stop and take a walk. If you see a pleasant park,
stop a while, stretch, and stroll on the path. If you're waiting in the airport
or a depot, get moving. Take the stairs several times and make the rounds until
it is time to depart. If you're fortunate to be in an airport like San
Francisco International Airport or Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport,
you can even take advantage of yoga
classes and a
walking path. Once you are on the plane, you can continue to take walks on the
plane. According to travelfitness.com, this is important for staying limber and
having good circulation. Bring your own water bottle to maintain hydration.
Your Hotel- Choose Wisely
When you are planning your
accommodations, select a hotel or resort with a quality fitness center and a
pool. Many hotels are now offering exercise classes as part of the passage for
health-conscious individuals. On a recent trip to San Francisco I was able to
book a hotel with a great fitness center because I did a little due diligence
on a travel reviews site. This review site gave me a list of the best
hotels in San Francisco and I could see what type of fitness center they
offered and if they had good fitness classes complimentary. Once you arrive, if
it isn't too late, get out and take a walk around the area. If you are a
runner, now might be the time for that jog. Be sure to include your exercise
routine, whether you swim, go to the fitness room, or sign up for a class. Don’t
forget to pack your fitness attire (and your runners) and add a resistance band
in your bag for some simple strength training. Last, make sure you get plenty
of rest. A good night's sleep allows your body to make repairs and recharge, maintaining
systems at optimal levels and a good supply of energy.
