Covid-19 is still here. No doubt you are probably limiting your travel and choosing to instead participate in virtual meetings, when this is an option. For sports officials, who regularly travel, and for anyone with upcoming business or holiday travel, take time to prepare in advance to maintain your fitness routine away from home.
Like most of us, your fitness routine has been put off course by the pandemic. I encourage you to consider these tips as you travel, to maximize your fitness efforts.
- Pack workout clothing and shoes. If you have some gear with you, it increases the chances that you will actually exercise.
- Set aside some time for your fitness routine. Whether it's ten minutes or an hour, doing something is better than doing nothing!
- Take the stairs. If your hotel has stairs, choose to walk instead of riding the elevator. Make it interesting by breaking it up: walk up one flight of stairs, walk to the end of the hallway, walk up another flight of stairs and repeat until you get to your floor, or until you finish the workout.
- Take advantage of the hotel gym or exercise in your room. Watch these videos for exercises you can do on the hotel fitness room equipment. No hotel gym? Sit-ups, push-ups, and squats are always a good go-to routine.
- Push the plate away, get up from the table and take a walk. Bring someone with you. The holidays are always the perfect time to lose your fitness focus...so don't!
Remember: your body doesn't know that you're traveling. Keep everything as consistent as you can. Stay in control while you're on the go.
Travel safe, Travel smart. Stay fit.
