Tips for staying in shape while you're away from home

•Before boarding your plane, drink two 8-ounce glasses of water. Keep drinking water on the plane to avoid dehydration.

•Plan to arrive at your destination during the day so that when you get there you can take advantage of remaining daylight to do something active outside.

•Set a goal of exercising at least every third day to keep your energy level up, performing at least a third of your typical aerobic routine. Complete your strength training routine at least once a week.

•To help yourself pick healthier meals when eating out, decide on what you want before you even look at the menu, such as steamed veggies or fish.
