One of Alicia's favourite pieces of workout equipment is the Ultimate Sandbag.

"I find it a great tool for on site training. It is easy to travel with and carry around to the field, to coach at the track or to train my clients on site. The bags designed allows me to use it for multiple purposes including strength training, circuits, weighted exercises and even olympics lifts. I use it for myself, the elite athletes I coach and my clients. It is suitable for everyone because you can always adjust the amount of weight inside of it. I also find it durable and I love that I can use it in all conditions because it is water proof. I highly recommend The Ultimate Sandbag and I believe that the Ultimate Sandbag should be a staple piece of equipment for all coaches, trainers and athletes."

Today’s business man does a lot of traveling in and out of different time zones. Even if you are in good health there is nothing that feels more awful than long travel days, not to mention the dehydration and swelling that you end up experiencing from the flights. With flying because of the cabin pressure you may not realize it but there can be de-oxygenation, less-than healthy processed airplane food. With connections, jet lag and in and out of hotels it is also hard to find time to exercise properly.

Follow these tips to combat the lag from  travel so that you feel more like your normal healthy self.

DRESS COMFORTABLE
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothing so you are more apt to move around.

STAY HYDRATED:
When traveling the absolute most important thing is to stay hydrated,. Think about what happens to a bottle of water  or a liquid that you carry on the flight with you. It looks all sucked and indented in. Your body is mostly made up of water so this is pretty much what is happening to your body as well. When you get dehydration you can feel de-energized and it will cause your skin to look dry and dull. Also when you are dehydrated you feel hungrier, and it will cause you to  eat more than you normally would.

EATING
If a flight is short, I suggest that you try to eat a meal before your flight. Most of the food at the airport are fast, unhealthy fixes. Although I found a great healthy store in the Chicago airport. I forget the name of it. But keep an eye out for it if you are connecting from Canada. Also be care of airport and plane salads. It’s the dressing that is bad for you, look for vinaigrette instead of fatty dressings.  If you can try to bring your own snacks such as fruits and veggies.

STRETCHING
Sometimes a flight can be up to 4 hours plus. This is a lot of sitting down. Your muscles build up tension and sometimes you can get stuck in a tricky position, get muscle cramps and this can lead to injury. I suggest trying to stand up and stretch your whole body. This includes arms, legs and back. Even simple static stretches held for at least 30s do the trick. Try getting up in the isle, and you can even use your seat as an anchor for the stretches.

WALKING
Get up out of your seat and use use the isle to do a few laps. You can even do this as your are stretching. Or walk in the airport in between connections instead of sitting. Explore the airport, browse the shops, and if you’re lucky enough to have minimal carry-on luggage take a brisk walk around for 10-20 minutes. You will feel better and more relaxed on flight. I find most airports these days are like malls. There are endless shops that carry an array of items. Go get that gift for your parents or spouse and check out the duty free shops to stay active instead of sitting right at your gate.

DESTINATION EXERCISING
When you reach your destination, the best thing you can do to rejuvenate yourself and fight the jet lag. This can be done by simply getting your butt to your hotels gym to workout. It doesn't have to be long, try 15 minutes on a full body machine like the elliptical or do a quick circuit to get the blood flowing again. If you are tired as I always say  the hardest part is getting started, but once you start you will thank yourself afterwards. If your destination hotel or condo does not have a gym or you don’t want to be in a gym try traveling with a light weight jump rope, or do push ups and sit ups in your room, followed by a few stretches. After this first day get right back into your regular workout regime at your destination and you will feel back to your regular self!

Enjoy your travels and don’t let them disrupt your exercise regime. Even if you are traveling it is possible to still be the best you that you can be with a little bit of adjustment and effort. So happy airplane and destination fitness!
