Health Watch: Staying fit as a frequent flyer Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jan. 9, 2015 at 7:04 AM Posted Jan. 9, 2015 at 7:04 AM » Social News TIP OF THE WEEK Travel makes exercise difficult but not impossible. You just have to come prepared. Whether you're on a business trip, heading out on vacation, or visiting the family, here's how to ensure you'll stay fit on the fly. Airport advice: Your time in a terminal most likely consists of a lot of waiting. So why not use the wait to watch your weight?

Snack time: After the mini-walking workout, don't ruin your efforts by chowing down on calorie-laden kiosk food. Either come prepared with healthy snacks from home or reach for better options like almonds, Greek yogurt, or fruit at the airport. Hotel help: Workouts should not be put on hold when you're away from home. Before booking your stay, check out different hotel gyms online and find one that fits your needs.

Go out and explore: If running is your preferred method of movement but are concerned with navigating a new city, head on down to the front desk. Most hotels have running maps for the taking or offer concierge programs with guided group runs. None of the above? Use the Map My Run app to track your miles and find a route that's popular to the locals. — Life Fitness NUMBER TO KNOW 6: According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, only six states — Illinois, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New York and Vermont — currently mandate physical education classes for all students in grades K-12.

If you’re not sure whether you’ve gotten chicken pox before or not, your doctor can help you find out with a quick blood test. — More Content Now NEW RESEARCH Up in smoke: A new study conducted by researchers at National Jewish Health in Denver shows that smoking e-cigarettes may not be as risk-free as people once thought.
