Preparing Your Body For Golf While You Travel

Traveling can often create havoc on regular exercise and golf conditioning. With a bit of planning and creative strategy you can help keep your body ready to hit the golf course.

First thoughts about travel, exercise and maintaining good nutrition can be negative for many. Here’s a few tips to help:

• As you plan your trip be sure to define your fitness goals while you travel. Consider the constraints you’ll have by your travel schedule and logistics.

• When booking your flights and hotel call ahead or check the internet to find details about exercise facilities. If no facility is available, plan alternate activities like an in-room workout.

• If your travel involves time-based appointment, schedule appointment with yourself for your workout. Stretches, and some exercises are easily performed as no equipment is necessary. With fitness awareness soaring, many hotels have first-rate fitness centers with a full variety of equipment and their own fitness staff. While exercising regularly is important for your health and golf game, so is how you eat. Try to pack snacks for the trip and an extra water bottle. Travel can place stress on the body and zap you of your energy. Snack and meal replacement bars are handy for travelers with hectic schedules. As you choose your bars read the label to check calorie, fat, carbohydrate and protein content. With a little planning and determination, continued conditioning during your travel can keep your body ready for the golf course.
