Staying Fit While Traveling:
1. Phone ahead to find out if there is a Fitness Center near or in your hotel or place of stay. Most offer daily rates.

2. Pack plenty of protein bars and shakes in case you can't get a healthy snack.

3. Pack a bag with workout essentials you can use in your room- workout clothes, gym shoes, water bottle, heart rate monitor, walkman or iPod, resistance bands, jump rope, resist-a-ball (you can deflate for easy travel and take a pump).

4. Plan your workouts so that you get your weight training in before you leave... you can do cardio anywhere, even up and down hotel stairs.

This workout can be done anywhere. Do it in a circuit or do 2-3 sets of 12-15 and then move to the next exercise.
