Fitness on the Go
I travel a lot, both for work and fun. This week, I'm in California for a photo shoot for our new women's-specific Gear Guide, which will publish this May. Our cover athlete, who's been booked for months, happens to be Monica Carlson, who won the David-meets-Goliath reality TV show American Gladiators on February 17. During our shoot, she proved herself to be incredibly fit, fun to be around and a warm and friendly mother of twins.
While I love to meet new people and explore new cities, it can be challenging—and expensive—to stick to my workout schedule. Yesterday, squeezing a run in meant spending $15 on a guest pass at a local gym. Today I plan to purchase a three-class introduction package at a local yoga studio ($20). For tomorrow's workout, I'm going to consult Athletic-Minded Traveler, a city-specific guide to gyms, fitness-centered hotels and healthy restaurants, for tips from locals on the city's best workout options and running routes. Know of any other great fitness information sources for travelers? If so, I'd love to hear about it.
