\"\"<\/a>I was delighted to read a New York Times article by Stephanie Rosenbloom\u00a0in the Travel section of August 1st\u00a0\u00a0edition about the new endeavours that airports and hotels are embarking on to make fitness and health a part of their environment.\u00a0\u00a0In the article\u00a0“Easing the Pain of Workouts On the Road” here<\/a>\u00a0the invitation to travelers to get their exercise and fitness needs met while traveling is being sent loud and clear by the hospitality industry.<\/p>\n

Hotels like the Sheraton are even providing an all included “workout in a bag” which contains basic necessities for you to do yoga.\u00a0 The “workout in a bag” includes a mat, foam rollers and even an instructional manual that you can use to follow along for a routine. You borrow the “workout in a bag” and its all a part of a fitness program that even allows you to continue with the instructions after you have left your stay there.<\/p>\n

Another featured hotel was the Westin Hotel, which offers guest to similarly borrow workout clothes and equipment.\u00a0 They have also expanded their hotels to include fitness rooms that feature more room for floor work and lighting that promotes good energy and well-being.<\/p>\n

Airports are also making their way to creating comfortable and convenient spaces to workout.\u00a0 Indianapolis International Airport has designated walking routes within the airport terminals that allow passengers to take walks for up to a quart of a mile in their ticketing areas.\u00a0 For more information please see Indianapolisairport.com.<\/p>\n

San Francisco International Airport\u00a0 has gone above and beyond to welcome peaceful tranquility as part of the travelers experience.\u00a0 They have transformed part of the airport into “Yoga Rooms” to allow people to come and enjoy quiet and meditative spaces for relaxation.\u00a0 These “Yoga Rooms” come with mats and benches and are designed with tranquility in mind.\u00a0 See more at FlySFO.com.<\/p>\n
