没有人告诉您旅行时保持健康的5件事

When I was a competitive skier, I’d set up shop in a new country each week: The Zurich airport felt like home, and bathroom sinks doubled as laundry machines. Since it was my job to stay fit, that’s what I’d do. Even so, while it was easy to get outside, it was tough to maintain a typical fitness routine.

旅行或享乐旅行肯定会对日常活动造成严重破坏,但是保持健身水平是可能的,不一定是您想的方式。

Here are five things you hardly hear (but should hear more often) about fitness on the go:

1.酒店体育馆不是您的首选

研究人员Cornell University School of Hotel Administration最近发现的酒店体育馆是最有没有用的便利设施之一,大约有50%的客人承诺使用它们,实际上只有22%出现了。当然,原因可能是可能缺乏动力(或时间),但是酒店体育馆通常没有正确的设备(您好,跑步机和环球体育馆)。

酒店健身器材通常也经常无法正确维护;您可能无法调整它,或者电缆可能会粘。或者,也许您很坚强,但仅限于手头的20磅重的哑铃。

2.您的体重是您最好的朋友

When it comes to portable workout gear, your own bodyweight can be your best bet. While on the U.S. Ski Team, we did a lot of bodyweight moves in our hotel rooms. Sure, sometimes I’d get crafty and perform biceps curls with my ski boots or skis. (Note: I’m also guilty of writing stories in which I suggest filling water bottles to double as weights. In reality, they rarely weigh enough to challenge you outside of physical therapy-type exercises, so use them for hydration. Lift your bottle to drink the water. Period.)

当您使用体重进行运动时,您可以轻松地利用自然运动模式,并更加努力地挑战身体(阅读:推或拉超过20磅的重量)。您还将利用核心稳定性肌肉。

Try下蹲,弓步, walking lunges,pushups, back-extensions,burpeesand evenyoga。Sun salutations can travel.

3. TRAINING LIKE A LOCAL HAS BENEFITS

几年前,发现跑步路线意味着寻找当地商店或聊天酒店礼宾。但是现在您可以看到其他人使用应用程序的运行方式MAPMYRUN。这就像拥有个性化指南一样,因为您可以获得确切的里程和高程收益,以便能够选择锻炼水平。也许是最大的奖金之一:看看当地人选择在哪里运行也可以帮助您确保安全(并风景优美)。

4.可以通过喷气滞后小睡

It’s no surprise jet lag is real, and repeatedcircadian rhythmdisruption can cause a host of health issues, like a weakened immune system. What’s more, according to astudyout of the University of California, Berkeley, it can also lead to decreased cognitive abilities. But that doesn’t mean you have to give up international travel.

What no one really tells you, is that even athletes feel jet lag, and while we’re all advised to adjust to daylight and new time zones as soon as possible, and to avoid sleep until the evening hours, sometimes it’s really helpful to just take a nap. Your body needs sleep. It’s as if you’ve pulled an all-nighter or skimped on zzz’s in general.

Though it’s ideal to exercise as soon as you get in (consider a long walk or a light run, and skip caffeine on the plane), if you snooze as soon as you land, you’ll still have time to enjoy normal daytime activities along with dinner, plus more sleep at night. If you can’t fall back asleep, read until you’re tired. Do what you can. And know that athletes sneak in sleep, too.

5.高度是真实的……需要防晒霜

再说一次,毫不奇怪,但是很多人都忘记了这一点,直到他们想知道为什么他们的常规4英里跑步感到如此。根据altitude.org, elevation isn’t ‘high altitude’ until about 8,000 feet. So if you’re planning a trip to the mountains (like in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and even California), you may have to acclimate. Even lower elevations can cause shortness of breath during a run and possibly even dizziness and nausea (symptoms usually relegated to altitude sickness), depending on your sensitivity.

The truth is, even athletes can feel altitude and need to adjust accordingly. If you’re going to higher elevations, you may need to cut back on your workout intensity. You’ll also need to be sure you’re wearing sunscreen. It’s the norm these days, but you’re more likely to suffer sunburn at higher elevations. A New York University School of Medicine study showed that ultraviolet intensityincreases by 8–10%for every 1,000 feet above sea level (due to thinner layers of atmosphere). Slather it on.
