How to Stay in Shape While Traveling on Business

Do you exercise on a regular basis and don't want to break your routine when you travel? Below are some steps to follow on the road.
Instructions
STEP 1: Book a room at a hotel with a gym. If gym hours are inconvenient or if the hotel is without a gym, find out if it has an arrangement with a local gym. STEP 2: Take advantage of layovers to stretch your legs with a brisk run or jog. STEP 3: Take a walk every hour during the flight to avoid swollen feet and ankles. STEP 4: Avoid dehydration on the plane by drinking 8 oz. water every hour, and avoid alcohol, caffeine and salty foods. STEP 5: Make use of your surroundings when you reach your destination. If the hotel is on the beach, take an early morning beach jog. If it's in the city, try walking to your appointment instead of hopping into a taxi. STEP 6: Exercise in the privacy of your hotel room: Do sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups and squats. Consider stretching and yoga exercises, which require no additional equipment or clothes. STEP 7: Remember to set regular exercise hours - either early morning or early evening - and stick to them.

Tips & Warnings
Eat healthfully. Stash nutritious snacks in your briefcase or purse; when dining out, look for healthy foods, and order fruits and vegetables from room service.
Get plenty of sleep.
If you have any questions or concerns, contact a physician or other health care professional before engaging in any activity related to health and diet. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
