Traveling doesn’t mean you have to neglect your fitness routine. In fact, it’s a great opportunity to try new activities and keep moving. Here are ways to stay fit no matter where you are.

Walking is a great way to stay active while exploring new places; skip taxis and use your feet to see the sights. This gives you a chance to discover hidden gems in the city.

Walk Everywhere

Pack a resistance band or just use your body weight for exercises like squats, lunges and pushups.

Hotel Room Workouts

Many hotels offer fitness centers with basic equipment like treadmills, bikes and weights. This is a great way to maintain your cardio and strength routines while away from home.

Hotel Gyms

Whether in your hotel room or a nearby park, yoga and pilates can help you stay limber and reduce stress.
