Ideas to stay healthy and sane when working on location

I often travel and work on location for 2-3 months at a time. When I do travel it can be challenging to stay healthy and establish new routines.

Below I have outlined a few ideas when traveling for work.

  1. Find a trail close by your hotel / living quarters that you can go for a daily walk or bike ride (rent a bike if possible).

  2. Consider joining a local gym for one or more months. I've done this several times even when the local gym doesn't typically offer short-term deals I managed to negotiate a deal.

  3. Consider doing a group work out (yoga / strength training etc) at a near by studio.  There are several apps that often have classes based on your location. One of my favorite is MindBody or ClassPass.

  4. Do yoga or push ups in your hotel room using a youtube channel or other streaming service.

  5. Go see a chiropractor and/or get a massage.

  6. Have Factor meals sent to your hotel room and eat healthy.

  7. Research to see if there are any hiking trails close by. Consider making a goal to go once a week.

  8. Go to the grocery store and stock up on healthy snacks/drinks (low sugar / low carb).

  9. Meditate daily or three times a week. Consider using Headspace or Waking Up.

  10. Look for a local church you can attend once a week.
