Mark: Always happy to collaborate with you! Your site has some great exercise options for those times when one has less than a full gym available.

Thanks for the great article! Not exercising when you travel can throw off your routine for weeks and months! Great tips from a professional traveler!

Cristina: Our fast-paced lives make walking seem the ultimate luxury sometimes. I have to drive more than I like when at home. Exploring a new location by foot (or bike) lets one engage with it at a more memorable, intimate level. It sounds like you truly made the most of your trips to Vienna and Budapest!

Authentic Seacoast Resorts: Nova Scotia offers so many terrific fitness options in such a lovely setting. I’ve Mapquested it twice in the last couple of months. Soon!!

Donna: I know you’re constantly on-the-go! It helps me to track what muscle groups I’m using each day as I travel. This allows me to fill in fitness gaps with activities and/or work-outs aimed at the muscles that have been used less.

When energy is an issue, I think it’s acceptable to do less but important to do “something”. ~Better to tread water and maintain your position than to quit moving at all!

Mark: Vacations can be our best opportunities to do what we love. Like you, I tend to ramp up my fitness when on vacation. ~And you’re right about walking! The best views are seldom found through a car window.

We agree that travelling provides a unique opportunity to add more life to your exercise program. Here on the Authentic Seacoast with fresh sea air you might want to hike an ocean side trail, grab some resort bikes and cycle by the sea, pitch some horseshoes, try your hand at golf, play a little badminton, try some Scottish dancing and the list goes on. Travelling can be a great way to find new muscles ignored by your day-to-day routine and bring more joy and enthusiasm to exercise.

I walk for fitness absolutely everywhere. When we visited Vienna we stayed at a hostel at 20 min walk from the city center. Likewise in Budapest. I love to discover walking tracks in the parks as well.

When travelling I think exercise can often be built into the actual trip. Walking alone goes a long way towards keeping healthy and that tends to be easy to do when visiting somewhere. Work trips can be more challenging for health routines but often when vacationing, I come back feeling healthier than when I arrived simply because I had more chance to walk, kayak or whatever. Good article (as always!).

Maintaining an exercise routine is a challenge for me on my travels. I’m going to put your ideas into practice, Heather. My main problem is having the energy to do it all. Great post.

Rainfield: It’s a wonder you get the photos you do at that pace (I’m glad you do)! I remember you mentioning a new trail. I look forward to reading what you found on your trek.

Cate: I walked many miles through San Fran the past couple of days. Loved it. It’s definitely better to get lost walking than running -less distance to retrace when you figure out you’ve gotten turned around!

Juno: Thanks much! I will check out your site. ~Always interested in good travel info…
