You should never have to sacrifice your fitness level while on the road even if you’re traveling during cold winter months. Exercise is important and with a little research and planning, you should be able to keep up your routine even when traveling.

- Try booking a hotel with a fitness center and pool located on the property.

- See if your gym has a location in the city where you will be. If not, they might have a partnership with another gym.

- Get maps of the area you will be visiting and find the best walking paths and trails.

- If the weather is too bad to be outside, find a mall or other large indoor place where you can walk.

- Bring an exercise band with you for simple strength training exercises.

- A basic workout of situps, push ups, jumping jacks, yoga and stretching can be done just about anywhere.

- Try not to get off schedule. This will help you get back on your usual routine when arriving home, especially if traveling across multiple time zones where jet lag could potentially become an issue. Being mindful of your health helps combat unwanted fatigue.

- Know your surroundings. Do not go anywhere that may be dark or may make you feel uncomfortable. Ask at the front desk for safe areas before going on a walk or run.

- Bring workout clothes. Many find that by simply packing a pair of tennis shoes, there is an obligation to use them! You might be surprised how good it will feel to go for even a short walk or run once you’ve arrived at your destination after sitting in a plane for hours at a time.

- While on the plane, walk up and down the aisles sporadically to help circulation. Always be to sure to drink plenty of clear liquids and try to stay away from caffeinated beverages if you can.
