Bikes, kayaks and walking will have you engaging all kinds of muscles and it won\u2019t feel like exercise because you are in an exciting location and taking it all in. This will not always be possible, so try to take advantage when you can and opt for public transport over Uber and taxis, because at least there is some standing and walking to and from the stations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_the_stairs\"><\/span>Take the stairs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of where you are travelling, the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/reasons-to-take-the-stairs-2509609\" target=\"_blank\">stairs<\/a> will always be present. Hotels, temples, galleries and all tourist destinations have stairs and by choosing them over an escalator or elevator will bring you many benefits and build the gym and your fitness into your day and sightseeing without doing anything you wouldn\u2019t normally. If you are feeling up to the challenge, you might even wish to jog up these stairs on every second or third day &#8211; but you might regret that the day later so only try this if you are up to it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Outdoors_to_Keep_You_Fit\"><\/span>Get Outdoors to Keep You Fit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is so much to explore in a new destination by getting outdoors, and it\u2019s a great way to exercise and stay active in the fresh air. Do some research to find some hiking trails and make sure to bring appropriate shoes so that you can traverse different terrains. If you book a guided tour when you travel, try and opt for an outdoor tour that gets you in the outdoors and your body moving. You can always add a picnic to the end of a day outdoors, or reward your efforts with room service or a spa treatment at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Gym_vs_Gym_Virtual\"><\/span>The Gym vs Gym Virtual<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Going to the gym might seem like a no-brainer, but many never consider this when they travel.
