Working out when you’re traveling can be a challenge. The idea of getting up early can be almost unimaginable. You want to stay in bed, relax and maximize your sleep time. I totally understand! But when it comes to staying fit, be savvy. Prioritize your workouts so you are able to have a productive day, stick with the healthy habits you’ve created back at home and focus on eating healthy throughout the day.
A lot of companies and hotels are now getting into the travel workout industry, offering clients options to make it a lot easier to break that sweat when you’re on the go. Everything from in-room gyms, to free yoga, being healthy while traveling is easier than ever. Here are a couple of ideas to get your heart pumping the next time you’re traveling:
Stay at a hotel that offers fitness amenities. Hotels are taking things up a notch with fitness incentives like offering on demand workout apparel and in-suite fitness programs.Through Westin’s RunWestin program, you can rent a workout outfit and have it delivered to you, for as little as $5. Also at the Westin, in most upgraded rooms they have treadmills + stationary bikes next to the beds so now you can get your cardio in as soon as you wake up. Another brand that’s getting into the fitness action is Hilton, who just launched their Five Feet to Fitness, a program that is literally a mini gym plus guided workouts right in your room. How can you say no to that workout? Do your homework and stay at a place that encourages healthy living. You may leave feeling inspired to try something new back at home!
Sign up for a run/walk tour of the city you’re in: Food is ALWAYS around when you’re traveling. Most hotels and resorts have 24-hour food options, room service and happy hour deals. Get away from it and sign up for a walking tour or running group in the area you’re visiting. Westin also offers running groups that meet in the lobby each morning. Ask your concierge about how to sign up! Also, check the web for local running options. Companies like City Running Tours offer morning running tours of varying lengths and paces around most major cities. Explore a bit AND get your workout in.
