With so many people traveling so often nowadays, it is more important than ever to try to stay healthy while traveling.
Sometimes it seems impossible to recover from jet lag, and it also seems to bring your immune system down.
Finding the best ways to exercise while on the road may be just the answer you've been looking for. There are many opportunities now to get some exercise at the airport while waiting for a flight.
Learning some simple techniques could save your trip from an illness that could ruin your great time.
A pedometer senses your body motion and counts your footsteps. This count is converted into distance by knowing the length of your usual stride. Wearing a pedometer and recording your daily steps and distance is a great motivating tool
Exercise at the Airport? Your Healthy Travel Ticket
Are you bored waiting for that flight to depart? How about a little immune building exercise and even help you recover from jet lag before you get it.
