1. Look for a gym at your destination

If you are staying at a hotel, please confirm if they have a gym. RoomsCo books hotels for the corporate segment and will be able to find a hotel with this requirement.

But there are other options too. You can find several fitness apps with specific training or Youtube channels. You can hire a personal trainer who teaches online.

Finally, you can do your own training. It’s proven that a daily 20-minute run has positive effects on your body and mind.

Whenever you are traveling, take the equipment to train. Choose to always have an active life, with physical exercise.


2. Eat healthy meals whenever possible

If you’re doing a short corporate trip, it’s natural to always have meals in restaurants.

Look for healthy restaurants and eat a well-balanced diet. Have at least one healthy meal a day.

During breaks, choose healthy snacks and drink plenty of water.


3. Combine work with leisure time

Do you already know the expression “bleisure”? It combines business travel with tourism. Many companies allow employees to extend the trip to the weekend, for example. You can see this opportunity and take the chance to explore the destination better. If a family member or friend joins, even better!

If you have time after work, go out to explore the city and do some tourism. You can also learn and relax from your professional work.


4. Get a good and restful night’s sleep
