Outdoor fitness a growing trend with business travelers
Business travelers spend a lot of time in airplanes, boardrooms, and hotels. Therefore, it is no surprise that an outdoor workout (depending on the destination) is becoming a growing trend with business travelers. Many road warriors agree that fresh-air fitness is indeed a good remedy for work-related stress.
Websites that cater to fitness minded business travelers come loaded with valuable information – including where to find the best jogging/hiking trails, which hotels provide state-of-the-art fitness equipment, contact information for local running groups, and healthy restaurant recommendations.
AthleticMindedTraveler.com is a subscription-based Website that provides recommendations for health clubs, running routes and other fitness information in a variety of cities. Travelers preferring to map their own running routes, without a fee, can do so at www.MapMyFitness.com. As the main hub, www.MapMyFitness.com offers five additional sites that cater to individual activities – www.MapMyRun.com; www.MapMyRide.com for cyclists; www.MapMyWalk.com; www.MapMyHike.com; and www.MapMyTri.com for triathletes.
Another resource for athletic travelers is the book, “Fitness for Travelers: The Ultimate Workout Guide for the Road” by Suzanne Schlossberg.
With a little research, business travelers can explore a variety of workout options. Whether they want to run along the waterfront or past famous monuments, each destination has something unique to offer the health-conscious business traveler.
