Fit Travel Tip: Wear Sneakers During Travels

FitSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:30:00 -0700

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. I don't know about you, but comfortable clothes make me move a lot more than heels and a skirt, and I was pleased to be comfortable. Not only did I find myself walking around the terminal a lot more while skipping moving sidewalks and escalators, jogging to make my connection was not an issue with my sneaks on. You may already do this, but if not, think about traveling sporty on your next trip. You might find that you'll even end up burning calories while killing time. Happy travels!

Would You Get a Flu Shot at the Airport?

While I was traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday I noticed an odd occurrences at the airport that I had never witnessed before — flu shots. Did anyone else see this? I kid you not, there were at least three flu shot stands scattered throughout the Chicago airport. I am not placing judgment on anyone who decides to get or not get the flu shot, but I just can not imagine getting it done in the middle of a terminal at one of the busiest airports in the world. You know I am curious about your opinion on this one, so . . . Source

Airport Gyms For Your Travels

Nothing is worse than a long layover at the airport. It is such as waste of time and I just sit there thinking about all the things I could be doing during that time.

Airport Gyms, Exercise on the Fly is a FREE listing of all airport gyms, airport exercise clubs and airport fitness centers available in and around select popular US (and Canadian) airports today. It is great because if you're an active traveler that would rather spend an hour in the gym (versus an hour in the terminal watching television), or would rather take a yoga class (versus wandering through trinket shops and fast food places), airportgyms.com can help you find a gym in, near or around common airports. Check it out AirportGyms.com before your next travels.

Fit's Tip: Not many airports have actual gyms in them, so most of the time you'll be directed to airport hotels (connected or not to the airport) with fitness centers in them. I would be sure you have a good chunk of time before heading on over as it may be a trek getting there.
