Ten Ways To Stay Fit On The Go

“Athleisure” is may not officially be in the dictionary, but most of us are probably wearing Ivy Park with sleek aviators casually, rather than actually working out in it. True, Summer is just around the corner, but incorporating healthy habits into your everyday life is imperative beyond travel.

We all make excuses for not taking care of our body and soul—eating healthier costs too much money, working out takes up too much time, etc—and for those with wanderlust on the brain, the excuses can easily pile up. Fortunately, there are plenty of apps, devices, and gear to help us stay fit on the go. Here are 10 favorites to get started with:
