Olympians Tips for Staying Fit On the Road

Drink Up
"Whether you're on a long flight or a puddle jumper, the most important thing is to stay hydrated. It's a bummer you have to buy a bottle of water in the airport but completely worth it." -- Lindsey Vonn, alpine skiing

Kick the Cobwebs
"I like to go for a 20- to 30-minute run after a long day traveling (10 minutes slow, 10 minutes at a faster pace, then six sprints to wake my body up and blow out the cobwebs). I also travel with the Flow Bar for the perfect 10-minute workout. You can hang it from any door and do a number of exercises. My routine is eight pull-ups, dips, lay back rows, one leg squats facing the door, one leg squats parallel to the door (like lateral ski dip) and then push-ups. Do that two or three round and it's over in 10 to 12 minutes for a full-body workout." -- Daron Rahlves, ski cross

Eat, Move and Have Fun
"I always travel with almonds for a healthy, filling snack since airports generally lack these kinds of foods. I go for a walk and stretch immediately upon arrival. Exercise is often the last thing I feel like doing, but it wakes me up and makes my muscles feel refreshed. Plus, it sets the tone for activity for the remainder of the trip. If on vacation, I stay active using the opportunity to mix up my workouts. If I'm near a beach, the sand provides excellent resistance for running, and it's easier on my joints. I like to play tennis but rarely have time when I'm training for skiing so I take the opportunity to work on my skills when I'm on vacation." -- Hannah Kearney, freestyle moguls

Break the Fast
"To keep my diet on track while I'm traveling, I start my day off with a good, healthy breakfast. This helps give me enough energy to perform at my best for a fully day of training and competitions." -- J.R. Celski, short track speedskating

Plan It
"A good way to stay healthy while traveling is to plan ahead. Make sure you pack something to eat that's healthy and filling so you don't have to buy that gross, expensive airport food." -- Shauna Rohbock, bobsledding

Choose Wisely
"It's tough when you're traveling because some places have good food, others don't, and you end up not eating the way you should. You just have to make the best choices you can, avoiding empty calories as much as possible. Then when you get home, get back on track." -- Patrick Deneen, freestyle skiing

Be Flexible, Order Up
"When I arrive someplace, I check into the hotel, find the best restaurant and basically settle into my new living quarters. I usually travel very long distances to perform and compete so I usually wake up first thing the next morning, find a ballet room or in some cases a vacant hallway and stretch, walk through my programs, do some mat Pilates exercises and then get ready for my on-ice practices. I also always find the best steakhouse in town and eat filet mignon and green salad, as my nutrition is something I take seriously, relying on one major meal a day and some snacks in between, and the food quality is a bit suspect at competitions." -- Johnny Weir, men's figure skating
