Health, Fitness and Travel CAN Work! A Traveler’s Fitness Plan
Since travel is such a focus of my life and getting healthy and fit are as well, I am sharing my real-life opportunities and challenges of weight loss on the road in a “Six Weeks to Summer: A Traveler’s Fitness Plan” series. If I can get more fit with this busy travel schedule, almost anyone can!
Here’s my schedule for the next 42 days leading up to Memorial Day Weekend:
16.April – 29.April Traveling to Hong Kong,, 2 days in Hong Kong, departing Friday for a Princess 7-day cruise to China and Japan; 2 days in Tokyo; fly home
30.April Home
01-08-May Travel to Norway; client work
09-12-May Travel to Colorado Springs for BoardingArea conference
12-17May Travel back to Norway; more client work; travel home
18-20-May Home
21-23 May Houston
24-27 May Home
With 34 of the 42 days being on the road (most of it international), it’s enough to make me groan when I consider my fitness goals! Of these 34 days of travel, I have 6 international flights of two or three legs and 2 domestic flights. All 34 nights will be spent in a hotel or on a cruise ship. Weight loss? Can I do this with a cruise and so many international flights?
I am sure going to give it my best! And I’m sharing with you how it’s going.
I hope that information I share helps you or someone you know with healthy living on the road with info on:
Healthy in-flight eating and drinking
Getting your zzzzz’s while flying
Airport healthy eats
Foods fit for travel
Hotel dining
Hotel in-room workouts

Day 7 – MyFitnessPal and My Grade of A-
Keep it simple: more out than in; always take the stairs; walk if it’s less than a mile or two; if you relax by reading or watching vids, do it on a stationary bike. Good luck, you’ll do fine. I actually find it easier to stay fit when travelling because you’re not stealing time from all of home-life’s obligations (chores, family, etc.).
I have never heard of any conference by Boarding Area. Is it open to the public?
Hi — We’re having a meetup of BoardingArea bloggers and it’s not an open event this time.
