Just because you are a busy person with lots to do everyday, it doesn't mean that you don't have time to stay fit and keep in shape while traveling or in this fast-paced world of over-achievers. Excuses do not keep you fit and in shape. Again, there is no excuse now for becoming a traveling couch potato. The opportunities abound for you to take care of your fitness needs in all of your business and personal travels. 

The first thing you should do is to make sure that the hotel you are going to be staying in has a decently-equipped exercise room on site. Weights and benches, ellipticals, and strength building apparatus are the minimum you should look for, and expect.

If that is not possible, then you may need to get a little creative, by using your hotel room as the gym of the day. Exercising in your hotel room is an easily and very convenient way to make certain that you get in your work out without missing a beat. Before you leave for your trip pack some collapsible hand weights or elastic resistance bands or other equipment that is made for travel, and turn your hotel room into the indoor gym that it has the potential to become. 

Elastic bands are great for getting resistance training. They also have the added benefits of taking up very little space and adding very little weight on your travels. With these tools you can then use chairs and other pieces of furniture in your room to your advantage and satisfy nearly all of your fitness needs. Body weight exercises with resistance bands are more than enough for a great workout until you get back into your regular fitness regime.

Also understand that being involved within groups of leadership centered around health and wellness are key to giving you that added push that you may desperately need. NowlifeStyle is a complete health and wellness program centered on and developed for everyone in every stage of life. 

Whether on travel or at home or even at the office, NowlifeStyle has you covered. With easy to follow work out schedules, requiring no more than seven to ten minutes per session, there are no more excuses. If you are looking for a great support group and outstanding health leadership please join the NowlifeStyle Facebook group.

We understand that working out is not as easily done when you are in route to your next destination. So if your time is extremely tight and you don't have time for a complete work out, there are other alternatives to not working out at all. Stretch in your seat, or take a long walk (you can even do this in the airport before, between and after your flights, right?). Once at your destination, heck, I bet the hotel is just as nice on the other side of the pool, so get starting with an easy tour of the premises and find out. Speaking of pool, you could always take a swim. Swimming is definitely a workout that will exercise every muscle in your body. 

With all of these ideas for a good work out, if not the best work out that you've ever had, you should no longer have any excuse for not continuing your fitness routine while traveling. Just remember that it doesn't really matter where you are when you do your work out, it just matters that you do your work out where you are. And if you can't do the exact routine that you are used to, just take solace in the fact that you are getting a workout and are moving your body. Best of luck with your travels!
