When Pigs Fly: Airline Travel and Swine Flu
With schools across the nation back in session, from universities to the elementary grades, swine flu cases are on the rise. This H1N1 virus spreads more quickly among children, teens, and young adults, but reported cases have been mild.
However, this uptick in cases indicates that flu season is coming early, and back-to-school season also means travel season for the business class.
Travel Without the Tummy Troubles
Hooray for the holidays! Traveling for the holidays — not so much. Get ready for traffic, waiting in lines, flight delays, and possibly constipation.
Fit Travel Tip: Wear Sneakers During Travels
Usually I try to dress up a little bit when I am traveling. My parents always made us dress up for plane rides, and it's one of those things that has stuck with me through my adult years.
Last weekend I broke my code and decided to wear sneakers and comfortable pants on the plane.
Take Your Yoga on the Road
If you're traveling for the holidays, that doesn't mean you should ditch exercise altogether. Unfortunately you can't always get to a gym, and it may be too chilly for you to work out outdoors. That's why I love doing yoga when I'm on the road because you can do it practically anywhere.
Do You Bring Your Own Food When You Fly?
Airplane meals were notoriously bad, so I must admit I don't really miss them. Airport food is really only one step up in my book. It can be very difficult to find something decent and healthy to eat when flying, so I usually pack my own food.
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.
One thing that I always make sure to have in my trunk for long car rides is a jump rope. My family tends to stop frequently while on road trips, so at each rest stop I like to do a mini jump-rope session (five minutes or so).
Forget Your Gear? No Problem!
With all the commotion that goes into packing, it happens (a lot) that we leave even our most prized of possessions behind. For me, leaving behind my workout gear would be catastrophic...
However, this is no longer an issue if you’re staying at a Fairmont Hotel.
When Traveling, Which is WORSE?
Summer is coming up, I'm sure a lot of you have big trips planned. Vacations provide a much needed break from the trials and tribulations of daily life. Whether you are vacationing for relaxation or adventure, traveling does sometimes come with interesting side effects - both known and unexpected.
Oh La La: TravelFit Paris
If you're lucky enough to be spending some time in the City of Lights this summer, you may find yourself indulging in some tasty pain au chocolat and vin rouge. This is great, but if you want to fit into all the très chic clothing you just picked up when you get home, you may want to check out this book before you travel.
The very first book in the TravelFit Guides series, TravelFit Paris ($10.17) is a great guide book for the fit and health-conscious traveler in Paris.
Fit Traveler: Hilton Garden Inn's Stay Fit Kit
Staying fit while traveling is important in keeping up your routine and staying with your exercise momentum. Luckily some hotels are making it easier than ever to workout while on the road.
The Hilton Garden Inn has created the Stay Fit Kit, which allows you to workout in the privacy of your guest room or in the fitness center.
