Fitness Tips

One thing that summer usually brings to most families is TRAVELING. I love to fit in a workout while traveling, whether it be a jog or a hike, it makes me have more energy and feel good throughout my trip. And it is fun to exercise in new ways and new places. I compiled a list of ways to stay in shape while traveling. If you have any other ideas on this topic that you have found successful send them our way.

• Check and see if your hotel has fitness equipments. A lot of big chains including Marriott and Hilton are not equipping all their hotels with fitness rooms. And the ones I have been in are pretty nice.
  
• Some hotels may not have a fitness room, but work with local fitness centers and may have passes. Speak with your hotel about this service.
  
• Running, I know not everyone is a runner, but you can pretty much run anywhere you visit. If you are unfamiliar definitely take a cell or a running partner.
• Jump Rope, a great way to get active while watching TV in a hotel and a jump rope fits in any luggage.
  
• Swimming Laps in the hotel pool
  
• A brisk walk
• Take the stairs, walk or run up and down the stairs in a hotel and you will definitely burn some calories
• Alternate bursts of jumping jacks, lunges, tricep dips, running in place, and pushups
• If staying at a relatives home bring a favorite exercise DVD. Some hotels have DVD players or offer them to be rented.

Trust me, you will feel great and maintain the fitness level you have worked hard to get to.
