Good intentions of exercising while traveling can lead to less than positive results if you don't keep an eye on the weather changes.
During a recent trip to Florida, I brought all my workout gear with the high hopes of doing workouts on the beach during my vacation. On the first day I went out, I was exhausted and dripping with sweat within minutes and had to stop.

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. With its new StayFit program, most Hyatt gyms are open 24 hours a day so you can work out whenever you want.

Traveling to LA anytime soon? Then you can head for the Hollywood Hills and still keep your body red carpet ready.
Running from the Paparazzi is a 4-mile running tour that goes from Wilshire Boulevard to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, then through Hollywood and past eclectic shops on Robertson Boulevard.

With McDonalds lurking in every terminal, airports pose a potential threat to the average healthy person.
On my recent travels I had a few hours to kill in the Boston International Airport and I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was an abundance of healthy choices — I know this because I was looking for fries (even I have a weakness for them) and couldn't find them. Every terminal offers up healthy eats — I was able to score hummus and veggies — and you can also get in a workout.

If you're getting ready to cross time zones, new
research suggests that fasting may help you deal with jet lag. While it's true that light regulates the circadian rhythm, an internal clock that determines when you sleep, wake, and eat, there may be a second internal clock that takes over when your body thinks food is scarce. It takes 16 hours of fasting to kick this clock into gear, and manipulating this clock by denying yourself food may help to adjust to a new time zone.
