For many of us, traveling is a time of indulgence. We will be the first to say that there\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with that. You deserve to enjoy yourself, whether you are traveling for business or vacation.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re not going to tell you to stop (we won\u2019t be stopping, either!). However, just because you\u2019re traveling doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t be active. And being active doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re compromising on your business ventures, losing part of your vacation or lessening your fun. It\u2019s all about your approach: think of working out as a way to enhance your travels \u2013 or at the very least, something that will help you feel good during (and after) your time away.<\/p>\n

But squeezing it all in can be a hassle \u2013 that is, unless you plan accordingly. Follow the seven tips below to stay fit on the go:<\/p>\n

MAKE YOUR WORKOUTS COUNT<\/h2>\n

The trouble many of us face when it comes to working out while traveling is that we just don\u2019t want to spend the time doing it. Luckily, to stay healthy and on track, you don\u2019t need a lot of time or a lot of space. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts have been proven to be effective and can be done right in your hotel room and (perhaps most importantly) are super quick. Trust us, you\u2019ll be drenched in sweat in no time at all. Try the\u00a0Wahoo Fitness 7 Minute Workout app<\/a>, which features a combo of cardio (hey, jumping jacks!) and strength training moves (squats, we love you!). And by using the\u00a0TICKR X heart rate monitor<\/a>\u00a0in conjunction with the app, you\u2019ll be able to ensure you\u2019re working at your highest intensity (plus you won\u2019t have to count your repetitions because really, who has the time?)<\/p>\n

TURN WORKING OUT INTO A TEAM EFFORT<\/h2>\n

No one says you have to work out alone, and when you\u2019re on vacation with the family or traveling with business associates, it\u2019s OK to get a little creative with the type of exercises you do. So grab the family (or your friends) and go do some fun physical activity. Race each other on the beach. Go for a swim in the pool. Hike a nearby trail. Ice skate around the local pond. Challenge each other in the hotel gym. Whatever it is, pick something everyone will enjoy and turn it into a healthy adventure. Not only is this good physically for all involved, but getting everyone\u2019s endorphins pumping lowers the chances of anyone having a mental breakdown, fighting or being grumpy. A real win-win, if you ask us!<\/p>\n

EAT DURING YOUR USUAL MEAL TIMES<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re away from home, your entire schedule can get off track. You wake up at different times. You go to bed at different times. Everything is much more relaxed \u2013 which is excellent \u2013 but it can also wreak havoc on your insides. If you keep your meals at around the same time, and don\u2019t skip any, either, you\u2019re less likely to overeat and less likely to get hangry.<\/p>\n

DRINK LOTS OF WATER<\/h2>\n

Yes. We know. You\u2019ve heard it dozens (hundreds?) of times before: water is important. But seriously. Drinking water is extra crucial when you\u2019re traveling. For starters, air travel dehydrates you like crazy, and let\u2019s be honest, so do road trips (after all no one wants to stop 12 times to pee). Dehydration can cause headaches, grumpiness and hunger. So before each and every meal, drink a glass of water. If you are visiting an area with questionable water quality, stick to the bottled stuff. When you\u2019re hydrated, you have more energy, which means you\u2019re more likely to be active, and you feel fuller, making you less likely to gorge on unnecessary temptations.<\/p>\n

WALK AS MANY PLACES AS POSSIBLE<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve all heard the urban legend of the person that went on a weeklong vacation to Italy, ate and drank whatever they wanted (pasta, wine, gelato, oh my!) and came back home 10 pounds skinnier. Their secret? Walking everywhere. While this seems a little too good to be true, there is some truth in the power of walking. Mile per mile, walking burns as many calories as an easy run, and it\u2019s obviously way better than sitting in a car or on a train. Plus, it\u2019s a great way to explore the city you\u2019re in! If you end up losing 10 pounds in a week while indulging, well, you\u2019re a super human and congratulations.<\/p>\n

ADD SOMETHING GREEN TO EVERY MEAL<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t need to eat salad but try and incorporate some type of vegetable \u2013 or fruit \u2013 into each and every meal. Have your breakfast omelet with spinach. Put some peppers on that pizza. Take the saut\u00e9ed kale with your steak. By adding nutrient dense foods to breakfast, lunch and dinner, you\u2019ll get full faster, have more flavorful meals and help your body stay balanced.<\/p>\n

EXPLORE THE LOCAL EXERCISE CRAZE<\/h2>\n

Workouts are different around the world so why not try a local class and potentially find a new exercise obsession? From belly dancing to tai chi to a super fancy acro-yoga studio, explore how the locals get their sweat on and then follow suit. Or if running is your jam, check out the local running store and find out when they have group runs. Same goes for those of you who love hiking or rock climbing. You\u2019ll get to see your travel spot from a local angle and potentially make new friends who can help guide you to the best places.<\/p>\n

Staying fit during travel doesn\u2019t have to be a chore \u2013 in fact, it can actually be quite fun! Maximize your time and intensity with the TICKR X and the 7 Minute Workout app, then go on and explore everything else your destination has to offer.<\/p>\n
