Fitting in some exercise while you’re away might be easier than you think.
The next time you’re trying to fit in a workout on a trip, it might be comforting to know that even fitness experts don’t necessarily recommend a “no excuses” attitude.
Still, making a little time to move has clear benefits: physical activity helps reduce stress and lower cortisol, which can enhance how relaxed you feel, Bryant says. Plus, staying active can help regulate your sleep, which could make it easier for you to adjust to a new time zone. A hotel, resort or studio in another city can be a good place to try a new fitness class, says Jamie Carbaugh, a weight-inclusive online personal trainer: “It’s a great chance to explore something outside your comfort zone without the worry that your co-worker might show up right next to you,” she says.
In case you need extra motivation: strength training can help reduce the aches and pains of travel, Stephens says, whether from walking, sitting on airplanes or sleeping on hotel mattresses.Credit:If sightseeing or that juicy airport book is demanding most of your time, don’t stress about finding the hours for a long, involved workout. Focus on what you can get done in a few minutes – ideally in the morning, before the fun of the day pulls you away, Carbaugh says.
