Traveling is a great way to experience new cultures and see new places. However, it can also be a challenge to stay active when you’re on the go. Here are some tips for staying active while traveling courtesy of ACE Fitness.

Make time for exercise

Even when you’re on a tight schedule, it’s important to make time for exercise. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity most days of the week. This could be anything from a brisk walk or jog to a bike ride or a swim.

Pack light workout clothes

Packing light workout clothes will make it easier to fit in a workout even when you’re traveling with limited space. Look for clothes that are versatile and can be worn for multiple activities.

Take advantage of hotel gyms

Many hotels offer gyms with treadmills, weights, and other exercise equipment. If your hotel has a gym, take advantage of it! Even a short workout can help you stay active.

Get outside and explore

Traveling is a great opportunity to get outside and explore your surroundings. Go for a walk or run, hike a trail, or rent a bike and explore the city.

Do bodyweight exercises

If you don’t have access to a gym or workout equipment, you can still get a good workout by doing bodyweight exercises. Push-ups, squats, lunges, and planks are all great exercises that can be done anywhere.

Make it fun

Exercise shouldn’t feel like a chore. Choose activities that you enjoy and that fit into your travel plans. If you’re traveling with family or friends, make it a group activity. This is a great way to bond and have some fun while staying active.
