More Healthy Travel Tips

• Mini-bar keys are generally very small, so just go ahead and swallow it so you're not tempted.

• It's important to stay hydrated, so plan to drink plenty of hydration.

• Encourage everyone at your departure gate at the airport to participate in a spontaneous Zumba session.

• Get a peddle-power rent-a-car.

• You can turn the desk in your hotel room into a treadmill by finding someone who's interested in trading a treadmill for a hotel desk.

• Be incredibly late for your flight.

• If you're a passenger on a long car trip, stand up through the sunroof. No, there's nothing particularly healthy about it, but it feels like you're running really, really fast.

• Ask concierge how many lobby laps equals 5K.

• Pack healthy snacks like rice cakes, apple slices, baby carrots and... oh who am I kidding? You're not going to do that...

• Some people use out-of-town travel as an excuse to get drunk and act a fool, but I'm telling that doesn't have to be the case. You can get drunk and act a fool at home, too.

• Do a few reps of suitcase curls.

• There's no place better for a relaxing stretching session than the floor of a truck stop restroom.

  3. So, seriously, someone told me about when they had their baby and a mom in the room next to her... Her husband was training for a marathon and figured out that 47 laps around the unit equaled a mile. He ran 20 miles. I don't know why this made me think of that but I had to share.

  5. Love it. Flash Zumba sounds like fun.
    Not to sure I'd want to be using the truck stop rest rooms for stretching. Push-ups maybe, no way I'd be letting myself drop

  6. Loved your post. Having just returned from a business trip and actually packing apples and carrot sticks, I nearly wet my pants thinking about doing laps in the lobby of the hotel, doing suitcase curls and swallowing the mini bar key. Thanks for making me smile.
