Recently, mt mom shattered a leg while on vacation trip. This required an impromptu “vacation” for me in a city I had never been. I used the phone book to look up gyms in the city & made a phone call to one within walking distance of our hotel. When I explained my situation, they kindly gave me a free pass to work out during time I was there. Most gyms do give free trial memberships so the next time I travel I will ask about a pass. Even if it is not free, it may be at a discounted price. It never hurts to ask!

Tomorrow is supposed to be pretty nice and I need to get those last leaves raked up! It’s good exercise and the fresh air is a bonus. Our dog also benefits with an extra walk or two on those nice days. Today’s fun activity was helping a friend put up her Christmas tree and outdoor decorations which meant many trips up and down the basement stairs.

When at home if I can’t get out an walk because of the cold, I use a treadmill or my new WII FIT dvd which gets me moving. But when out of town, I find a mall to walk and shop in until I’m either out of money or exhausted. It’s all about enjoying what you’re doing and getting the exercise in “on the side” that counts.

I travel to a very small town in northern Minnesota for the holidays. Walking outside simply is not an option, and the town is tiny – no reliable gym access. So – I take my yoga practice with me, and do basic yoga, crunches, pushups, and jumping jacks every day. It’s not as “robust” a workout as a I normally get, but for a few days it is manageable – and better than nothing! :)

i just got back from a trip to Portland, OR, and we walked EVERYWHERE! Not only that, I had also made it a point to work out 4-5 days a week like I do at home.

I belong to a gym here in Buffalo. But I am going to Ottawa, Canada next weekend for Canada’s National Winterlude festival. I’m taking my ice skates, and we are skating the canal every day to get to and fro the hotel to all the wonderful activities…it’s about 5 miles for us daily. Phew! Glad I have good skates! :)

Every morning I run with the dog, but now that we are getting 2 and have a fence, I am finding that my resolve melts some days as I rush to get to work on time. At work a few of us do the stairs 14 flighs in the morning.

We have a gym at work so I try to go there at least 3 days in a week.

The building I work in is a former hospital and so has long hallways that we walk in during breaks, so we can walk rain or shine…

Planning a trip to Fl and will need to find a treadmill to use. Have asked my daughter and friend to ask someone to use theirs or I’ll find a gym with a one week membership. I can carry my core ball in my luggage. I may just give my daughter one as a present and use hers, lol.

I try to use the gyms provided by hotels…. which is perfect during bad weather days.

Personally, I don’t go to a gym. I swim. I love to swim. When I am out of town, and a pool is not available to me, then I walk. I love to walk. Or, I will see if there are any bike to be rented. I love to bike ride, too.
