working out while traveling

Well, it depends on what you like to do. But there's all kinds of body-weight exercises you can do in your room. Add in a little sprinting if you're outside for some HIIT.
If you make it to a park and want have a good workout, try this one: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2012/04/12/playground-workout/
Or just make it up as you go along. There's nothing that says a workout has to be a strict regiment. "Playtime" workouts are just as much exercise as sticking to a script.
And you can always ask the desk clerk or whomever you're traveling to visit it they know of a place to get a good hike or run in. They may turn you on to some local place that you otherwise may have missed.0 -
Pressups, running, pressups, situps, pressups, squats.
Also pressups! :-)
On my most recent trip, did a lot of stretching, which I tend to neglect usually - that worked well for me0 -

Some hotels have fitness TV channels where you can order a workout on demand, or an exercise kit you can borrow from the front desk. Also agree with the suggestions of bringing your own DVDs, doing a body weight workout (try the You Are Your Own Gym books, DVDs and app for phone or tablet), going for a run or walk and checking out a local gym. I have to travel this weekend and I will be missing yoga so I'm doing a drop-in at a studio that's close to my hotel. If the weather's nice, maybe rent a bike/do bikeshare or do some other fun physical activity that isn't the gym?0

I travel a lot for work right now. In the morning I do 20 minute DVD workouts that I've copied onto a thumb drive. I also check with the hotels to see if they have gym arrangments, like previously suggested. My best finds for group classes was contacting the local YMCA and getting a 7-day pass that was good for a few months. (I was coming back multiple trips.) I've also done this with local recreation centers for group classes, but the Y gave me access to the entire facility. I also had a Zumba teacher tell me about the Zumba app that allows me to find classes any where i go, and that is my calorie burning fun of choice.
My 2014 goal is to see how many states I can zumba in. So far I have the west coast covered.0
