Home Is Not Always
Where the Heart Is
Whether traveling away from home for work or fun, physical activity should be part of the plan.
- Check the workout facilities in the hotel, or ask if the hotel is affiliated with a health club.
- If the meeting or restaurant is nearby, Google’s new maps include walking directions for routes less than 10 kilometers. You also can ask local residents about trails you find searching online.
- Inside the hotel, stair-climbing may be possible.
- Jumping rope, push-ups and crunches can even be done without leaving your room.
- To facilitate working out with a resistance band, the Living Well Alaska Chronic Disease Self Management Program also developed a pamphlet you can print off and easily tuck into your bag.
- Use your personal audio player for more than music and record a workout program to guide you.
- During airport layovers, walking and toting small bags can provide cardio and weight training at the same time.
