Working Out While Traveling
It’s really important once you get into a good workout routine, to not disrupt the flow just because you are traveling. So today’s topic is working out while traveling.
A new concept is arising (well I’m not sure if it is new but it was my first experience), it may even be a trend, where you can work out in your room. Have you heard of hotel workout rooms? No, not the workout centers at the hotel but hotel rooms that include workout equipment inside the room.
On our recent getaway, my hubs booked us a workout room since we are both hitting it pretty hard to reach our fitness/training goals. Now what is a workout room exactly? The Westin Workout Room includes a treadmill, yoga equipment (mat, ball) and weights (pictured left). It also included relevant and up to date fitness literature. In addition to the equipment, they also offer workout clothes and shoes in which you can “borrow”, to be delivered to your room at a low-cost. So if you need to pack light, this is an option for you…no need to pack workout clothes. We did however, bring our own clothes and shoes for our trip. It was so cool that the hotel actually offered it. How awesome it was to just wake up and get in a morning run in the comfort of your room.
The Westin Workout Room is yet another awesome feature that the hotel offers. Now, I know that there are other ways to get in your workout while traveling such as bringing your own DVDs and strength bands but when you can, why not take advantage of the in-room workouts. It’s super convenient and helps to not cheat and skip a workout while you are away from home.
What are your go to workouts while traveling?

I’m staying at a Westin next week and saw the workout room option but I wasn’t sure what it was! Thanks for the heads up, this is a great idea because who wants to leave such a great hotel room to go work out!! Not me!! LOL!!
I love the Westin and their heavenly beds…so no you really don’t won’t to leave their rooms :)!

OMG! Offering athletic wear to borrow is a genius service to offer! I had to use my hubby’s much too large sneakers once…this would have saved me from clown feet. LOL.
Genius in did and lol!! Thanks so much for visiting!
Wow. I had no idea Hotels offered this. I would love to book one of these rooms, what a great idea!
Neither did I, it was a great experience! Thanks so much for visiting!
The amount of room it takes to pack workout clothes and shoes is part of why I don’t usually bother on vacation. That is so cool that you can rent those items! I had no idea.
Exactly and neither did I! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Running is my go to workout while traveling. It’s a nice way to take in the new scenery.
