Traveling can throw off your routine, but that doesn’t mean movement has to take a backseat. Remember, getting in some form of movement is better than abandoning the plan altogether because you can’t do your regular workout class or routine! Whether in a hotel room without a gym or on the go, you can still fit in an effective workout.

More Ways to Move While Traveling
- An incline walk is a great low-impact option if your hotel has a treadmill.
- If the weather is nice, jog or take a long walk to explore your new destination.
- In a fun new city? It might be worth checking out a fitness studio you might not have at home! Not only will you check working out off the to-do list, but you can also try something new!
- Stuck at the airport on a delay? Don’t just slump down at your gate. Pop in a podcast or some music and do a few laps around the terminal to keep the blood flowing. Additionally, get some good pre-flight stretches before settling in for a long haul without the freedom to move as much.
- Depending on your location and distance, leave the car or cab behind and walk to whatever activity is planned for the evening.
Staying active while traveling doesn’t have to be complicated. A little movement goes a long way—so get moving and enjoy the journey!
