On an aircraft
Exercise in your seat (see EXERCISING GENTLY).
Go for a walk up and down the aisles when they are not congested; take the opportunity to stretch and touch your toes.
On a driving trip
Stop every 2 hours for 5 minutes of strenuous stretching and a brisk 15 minute walk.
Walk for at least 15 minutes before eating lunch and dinner.
At high altitudes
On the first day just take a stroll; after that, do your usual exercises but reduce the time by 15 per cent for each 5000ft/1500m gain in elevation. If it's hot, don't exercise outdoors between 10am and 4pm.
At the hotel
If there's no exercise room or pool, ask at the desk for a list of local health clubs or get a street map so that you can walk or jog in the area.
To find an aerobics class, look under 'Health clubs and fitness centres' in the Yellow Pages.
Is the weather too bad for outdoor exercise? Walk or jog in the hallway. Or stair walk: up for 1 minute, down for 30 seconds.
In your room
Pack a skipping rope, exercise tape and cassette player.
Run in place to the morning news or dance to radio music.
Make sure you stretch for at least 10 minutes morning and night.
