Here are some tips for staying fit while on the road:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pack Workout Gear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Simple shorts, T-shirt, sneakers and you are ready to go. Having them with you will be a good reminder to take the time to use them. If you forget your gear, give a call to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/services-management-travel-assistance-service-global-business-corporate-travel-services-business-corporate-travel-services\/\">travel agent<\/a> who can direct you to a place you can purchase replacements, or can let you know if your hotel has something you can borrow.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Take Advantage of Natural Fitness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2191\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Stay-fit-while-traveling.jpg\" alt=\"Stay Fit While Traveling, GTI Travel\" width=\"464\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Stay-fit-while-traveling.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Stay-fit-while-traveling-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Stay-fit-while-traveling-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Stay-fit-while-traveling-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/>Really pressed for time? Just make sure that when you are going somewhere, you make your body work as hard as it can. How?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take the stairs.<\/li>\n<li>Walk everywhere.<\/li>\n<li>Stand rather than sit.<\/li>\n<li>Squeeze your abs and glutes while walking or sitting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Plan Short Workouts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The worst workout is no workout, so don&#8217;t worry about whether you keep to the same schedule as you do at home, just make sure you get some exercise in every day, even if it is just a short run or yoga in your room. In fact, it is a good idea to plan ahead to have some short workout routines you like. You might even want to make sure your<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/business-travel-management-company\"> travel management company<\/a> includes fitness rooms in the list of things you want when booking a hotel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Try the Park<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Or take the suggestion of traveler <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/stay-in-shape-travel\/\">Nomadic Matt<\/a>, who suggests that travelers find a park to do his quick exercise program of 3 sets each of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bodyweight squats<\/li>\n<li>Lunges<\/li>\n<li>Push-ups<\/li>\n<li>Reverse crunches<\/li>\n<li>Backpack lifts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don&#8217;t want to do a full workout? Do some crunches in a green space or sprint up some steps. Maybe try some jumping jacks or burpees. Matt notes that he&#8217;s done pull-ups on branches and lunges practically anywhere. Not sure where a park is at your location? Ask the concierge at the hotel, or you can have your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtitravel.com\/travel-management-companies-business-corporate-company\/\">business travel agent<\/a> include directions to parks or green spaces in your travel information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Explore the City<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Feel short on time? Combine a chance to explore the city or countryside while also getting a workout. Don&#8217;t underestimate the power walk. Explore the area around your hotel on a lunch break. Power down the street to bump up your heart level.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drink Right<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you are on an airplane, skip the coffee, colas and fruit juices that won&#8217;t hydrate you and add on empty calories. Instead, drink:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Water<\/li>\n<li>Green tea<\/li>\n<li>Tomato juice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t hurt to carry your own bags of tea with you and to pack along your own refillable water bottle. You&#8217;ll have to empty it when going through security but you can always refill it afterward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Keeping employees fit is good for their personal health, but also for the health of your business.
