Summer Travel: Don’t Leave your Workout Behind

I cannot go a day without working out. When I travel, the ability to continue my exercise regimen is a must. I look for hotels with excellent fitness centers, or scope out a place where I can use my current gym membership. In case either of these are not practical my fall-back routine is to take a short run. The unfortunate part about this is that I prefer to travel light, and running shoes take up alot of space in a tiny suitcase. Fortunately I discovered “collapsible” running shoes.
These aren’t shoes you’d want to make your primary work-out wear because they lack the structured support of most running shoes, but they work well for traveling. These types of shoes are typically comprised of a fairly flexible sole and some sort of mesh body which can collapse in your luggage.
