Getting a workout in at a gym is as easy as finding a reason to buy a hybrid these days. With hundreds of machines and free weight stations from which to choose, it's pretty much paint-by-numbers from that point forward. However, all this reliance on fancy equipment and an almost limitless selection of pre-designed exercises can sometimes take the ingenuity out of the process. And, when you find yourself outside of your element -- such as when you are traveling and don't have access to fitness equipment -- you have to be able to think on your feet.

Greenwich, CT-based personal trainer Adrian Garce tackled this very issue in a travel-specific workout he designed for one his on-the-go clients, who also happens to be an avid That's Fit reader. It's a great way to keep your regular workout from falling to wayside and, unlike some other workouts of this kind I've seen over the years, does not let you off the hook while you're away from the gym. In fact, never mind the travel aspect of the workout -- this program is so well designed, you may even consider doing it at your gym instead of your usual workout!!

Let's get started, shall we?

If you're trying to maintain a regular exercise routine, you know how difficult it can be to fit it in when you're traveling. This month's Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource offers tips to stay active on the road, whether you're a road warrior or the occasional weekend traveler:

(1) Plan ahead. If you're staying in a hotel, try to pick one that has exercise and/or pool facilities, or is near a park or public walking trail. Check out the hotel's website or chat with the concierge for suggestions.

(2) Pack appropriately. Don't forget to pack your workout clothing and footwear, including a swimsuit and jacket. You might even stash some ultra-portable fitness travel items in your luggage, like a customized hotel room workout DVD, resistance bands, FitDeck or the very cool Yoga Paws.
