How-to Keep Fit While Traveling

Do you return home from vacation five or ten pounds heavier? You don't have to. Try these tips and exercises and stay fit no matter where you go.

• Exercise first thing in the morning, before you're exhausted from the day's activities.

• Stick to your exercise plan no matter what or where you go.

• Pick an exercise that is easy to do no matter where you are.

• Bring your gear so there are no excuses.

What kind of exercises can you do away from home?

• Hotel pool? Hit it early in the morning and swim laps.

• If your hotel has a fitness center, take advantage of it. Get your cardio in on the treadmill or lift weights.

• Walking or jogging is easy to do anywhere, and a great way to get to know the place you're visiting.

• Hike. If you're visiting a rural area, this activity might already be on your list.

• Road trip? Stop off at historical markers and roadside attractions. Stretch, do jumping jacks, and maybe even get your walk in.

Vacations don't have to be a stress on your body or set you back on your diet and exercise routine. Plan ahead and you can keep fit while traveling.
