So, you've been exercising regularly but now you have a trip coming up and you don't want to lose your momentum. Obviously, you're not going to be able to pack your bicycle, yoga mat, or weight set along but, while you may have to modify your exercise approach, there's no reason to abandon your workouts entirely. Here is some great travel gear that helps me stay in shape while away from home.

1) Running/walking shoes: Just about anywhere you travel you can still find somewhere to pound the pavement. Walking or running is great exercise. Be sure to stay in safe, well-lit, populated places. If your plans include walking around town or hiking a trail you'll get your exercise while enjoying the sights-- and your feet will thank you if you bring decent footwear.

2) Swimsuit and goggles: If you like to swim for fitness, these are great to have. A suit and goggles take up hardly any packing space while keeping your exercise options open. Many hotels have swimming pools or you might be able to find a community pool to enjoy.
