Just Say No to Auntie Annie!

Nearly everyone I have ever worked with (especially busy business people) has struggled with maintaining fitness while traveling.



Since I am in Connecticut today at a fitness business conference, this topic is on my mind.



Here are three tips that will help you travel and maintain your fitness level:



1. Eat before you get on the plane



As I walked through the airport, I saw Auntie Annie's pretzels, McWhopper (or whatever it is called), an ice cream store, and many others. No Whole Foods, though.

If you eat before you go to the airport, you can avoid the Nutritional Apocalypse that is the airport.



2. Take a sack lunch on the plane



If you are going to be in the plane for a while, take a sack lunch. You can take a sandwich and some fruit.



3. Drink plenty of water



When you travel, you can dehydrate easily. The elevation and cabin pressure requires you drink even more water than normal



If you drink a little more water while traveling, you will be less likely to make bad choices and you will feel better during your trip.



Now, off to the buffet (ha-ha...just kidding).
