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.
Pack a resistance band or just use your body weight for exercises like squats, lunges and pushups.
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.
Whether in your hotel room or a nearby park, yoga and pilates can help you stay limber and reduce stress.
If your hotel has a pool or if you’re near a beach, swimming is a fantastic full-body workout that’s also fun.
Opt for the stairs instead of the elevator to get in some extra steps and cardio throughout the day.
Many cities offer bike rentals, allowing you to explore at your own pace while getting a good leg workout. Biking is low-impact and a great way to cover more ground.
Hiking is an excellent way to get some fresh air, enjoy the scenery and work your muscles – especially your legs.
Dancing is a fun way to stay active. Whether it’s hitting up a local club or just dancing in your room, it’s a great way to burn calories and have fun while traveling.
