Keep It Moving While on the Move
Traveling can be rough on your daily routines, including your bodily functions. Changing times zones or just eating the processed carbs they hand out on planes these days can make it hard to keep your intestines moving. So here are some tips on how to stay "regular" when traveling.

Travel Tip: Stash a Jump Rope in Your Trunk
It is not uncommon to be driving to your destination this holiday season, which means more time sitting in the car and less time walking or exercising.

Fit Travel Tip: Wear Sneakers During Travels

Last weekend I broke my code and decided to wear sneakers and comfortable pants on the plane.
Fit Travel Tip: Plan for the Weather
Good intentions of exercising while traveling can lead to less than positive results if you don't keep an eye on the weather changes.

Fit Travel Tip: Inquire About Fit Amenities at Your Hotel
I recently took a trip out to Lake Tahoe and stayed at the Hyatt Regency there. I've always been a fan of Hyatt hotels because they tend to have great gyms and fitness programs for their guests.
