Easy Ways to Stay in Trim When Travelling
I travel a lot on business, often spending the whole of the working week hopping from one airport to another, sleeping in airport hotels and eating a lot of airline food. I soon learned that this busy lifestyle was not good for my waistline.
Travelling on business and meeting clients brings with it a whole load of obligations. In order to be sociable it is often necessary to have dinner with clients and share a few drinks after meetings. Being away from home makes it difficult to take exercise and can make it hard to resist the temptation of the mini bar and room service.
The same goes for travelling for a vacation. When you are in a holiday mood you are far less likely to be able to resist temptation. If you're visiting a part of the world where the local food and restaurants are just too wonderful to resist inevitably you don't. In combination with a few holiday drinks and some relaxing time by the swimming pool and by the time you get home you find that your clothes don't fit any more.
Unfortunately there is no easy solution to the problem of gaining weight while on the move. But I shall share just a few of the techniques I use these days to keep my weight reasonably stable while travelling for business.
Firstly, I make it a priority to get some exercise wherever I go. This isn't always possible, particularly if I've been travelling all day. If I can I will book myself into hotels that provide some keep fit facilities like a gym or a swimming pool. I will always make use of these facilities if they are available.
I keep a few good keep fit routines on my laptop hard disk and I use these in my hotel room whenever I can. Each day that I'm away I will always try to go for a brisk walk around the hotel area. I find that this is not only great physical exercise but also a really good way to get my thoughts straight before an important meeting.
I try to make the most of every opportunity to get a little exercise and work off some of those excess calories consumed on my travels. For example, when I fly home I will always take ten minutes to walk around the perimeter of the Cardiff airport parking lot before retrieving my car. This wakes me up ready for my 30 minute drive home and burns off a few of the calories I've picked up while away.
These days I always go for smaller portions in restaurants and I don't always empty my plate, instead I eat only until I am full. I will also select the healthiest option from the menu. Many restaurants, at home and abroad, have some very healthy fresh fruit and salad options these days. And anther technique I use is eating more slowly.
Theses days I have nearly cut out alcohol completely which has brought some enormous benefits. Wherever possible these days I just drink water.
I doubt that my techniques will be appealing to everybody but hopefully they will help a few people to keep in trim when on the move.
Top Tip: When travelling, for business or pleasure, alway make certain that you have adequate and appropriate travel insurance. Nobody expects the worst to happen, but if it does you really don't want the expense of a flight home in an air ambulance.
