Cardio Exercising During Business Travel

If you have an extended business trip planned, don't completely leave out cardio workouts. You may not be able to maintain your typical five-mile daily run or hour on the stairmaster but the less exercise you do on a business trip the more you'll have to make up when you return. You may have to adjust your cardio workouts on the road, given you're away from your typical facility and have less overall time. One thing to understand is that the length of your workouts isn't as importance as how intense they are. You can maintain your heart health by doing three 10-minute bursts of cardio exercise in a given day instead of one 30-minute session. A 12-minute jog can burn up to 164 calories. A 15-minute jump rope session can burn 117 for a 130-pound person and over 200 calories for someone 180 pounds. However, even if you decide to maintain your workout during a business trip, watch what short cuts you choose to take. Warm up and cool down at a slow pace for five minutes each. Tight muscles are more likely to get injured and you don't want that while traveling. Finally, if you travel to a place with a much higher altitude, this will affect your exercise, so drink more water and reduce your intensity until you know how your body will respond.
