Find Time for Exercise at Work or While Traveling

In case work takes most of your time but you still want to stay in shape, take advantage of the hours spend at work and increase your daily physical activity. Try to walk to work or take the bike instead of the car. If you usually go to work by bus, get off earlier and walk until your destination.

During breaks, go for a walk instead of taking a coffee or a snack in the lounge. You could also find some co-workers willing to join you on a regular workout routine. They may help stick to your schedule.

Use the stairs as often as possible. If you must attend a meeting on another floor, get off the elevator earlier and take the stairs. Always remember that physical activity is important and consider it as any other appointment of the day. Try not to change your plans for any problem that comes along.

If your work involves traveling, you may choose a hotel that has fitness facilities. Maintain your health by choosing healthy food like broiled chicken, fish, or steamed vegetables.

Stick to at least part of your usual workout program and you may notice that your energy level is up. While you`re gone it`s good to exercise at least every third day (or more often, if possible) and perform at the same level of intensity one-third or more of your usual workout exercises.

During a long flight you may want to walk the length of the plane to keep your blood circulating or drink an eight-ounce glass of water every hour to combat fatigue or dehydration. While you`re waiting for the plane you can take the bags and go for a short walk.
