Fresh-air fitness for the business traveler
Tuesday, 19 May 2009 21:30

Business travelers who want to squeeze in exercise on the road have a variety of options, ranging from using portable workout gear in their rooms, hitting the hotel gym or using the internet to find running routes only the local’s favor.

 

 

After spending the better part of your trip confined to a stuffy airplane, conference room and hotel suite, sometimes you just need to get outside. If you've got the time, an outdoor workout can not only give you a chance to explore your destination, it might also be the best remedy for work-related stress.

One way to find walking, running, hiking and biking routes is to ask your hotel's concierge. Of course, he or she might not know the important details, such as the difficulty level, or have precise directions. Many hotels now produce a set running route which is safe and has been mapped out for you to follow.
This can be a great way to discover a new city that you may have otherwise not had the time to see due to busy schedules.

Whether you are in Leeds, London or Lima. There are now some fantastic websites that can provide you with local running, walking or cycling routes, these will give you the ‘local knowledge’ and enable you to have a fantastic workout.


For those looking to map out their own running routes or access tips and existing courses without a fee, there's the map my fitness collection of sites. In addition to the main hub, MapMyFitness.com, there are five branded sites that include MapMyRun.com, MapMyRide.com for cyclists, MapMyWalk.com, MapMyTri.com for tri-athletes and MapMyHike.com.

 

With the tools to create a personal exercise route, "business travellers have the choice of choosing their own workouts 'when' and, more importantly, 'where,'" they choose says Kevin Callahan, co-founder of Map My Fitness, LLC. Want to run along a waterfront instead of through a park, or wind your way past a specific monument? No problem. The sites' community sections, a relatively new feature, also let fitness-minded business travelers rate    various routes, share testimonials and chat.


Nike+ is also a fantastic way of recording your personal progress as well as sharing routes and workouts online and competing with other runners/walkers results online. All that is required is an iPod and a pair of Nike+ training shoes.
An alternative to running can be found in your hotel room. Body weight exercises such as squats, press ups, step ups and core work can all be performed in the room with no equipment. These exercises will energise you and ensure you avoid back ache from lengthy air travel.
