Staying fit on a trip

The battle of the bulge gets tricky when traveling. But there’s no need to ditch your routine and compromise your exercise plan when you’re on the road.

• Pound the pavement. It’s the best way to explore while burning calories.

• Pack your goggles. Limit your poolside lounging and do some laps to burn off that pina colada.

• Restock the mini bar. Shove the $10 gummy bears aside, and pack in protein bars and yogurt for a nosh.

• Take the stairs. Skip the elevator and gun your glutes.

• Turn a commercial break into a workout with planks, pushups, lunges and jumping jacks.
