For many of us, the traditional gym routine can feel like a chore that simply doesn't suit our schedules or personal preferences. The thought of staring at a blank wall on a treadmill or waiting for a machine to free up is enough to dent anyone's motivation.

Most of us spend a large part of the year following a routine that balances everyday obligations with self-care. You might exercise before work and carve out family time in the evenings before taking an hour for yourself before bed. Holidays can interrupt these routines. You might find that you don’t have time to wind down as usual or that you have to rethink your morning run. However, it’s possible to choose travel experiences that fit your priorities.
