Cheryl Burke Keeps It Healthy Even on the Go
With the new lineup of Dancing With the Stars announced and training under way, cast member Cheryl Burke is once again on the go. Because the two-time DWTS champion splits her time between the show and managing three dance studios, she is no stranger to travel. Cheryl, 25, recently told Shape that keeping up with healthy eating habits "can be especially grueling" when she's away from home.
Travel Tip: Pack Your Snacks and Staples in Tupperware
In our Snack Attack: Healthy Snack Ideas Group, FitSugar reader Angelica shared how she's able to eat healthy even when traveling.
I'm a lactose intolerant vegetarian so saying I'm perceived as a picky eater is an understatement at best. I try not to impose or expose my needs to those around me, but it gets tricky when I am traveling and don't have easy access to my favorite staples and snacks.
Keep an Exercise Routine, Even When Visiting the In-laws
When you're away from home, it can be hard to stick to a normal fitness routine, but that doesn't have to mean giving it up altogether. When traveling this holiday season, use these helpful tips to ensure you'll be active well into the new year.
Pack your gym bag.
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.
