When I travel, I have a VERY hard time because it requires a lot of sitting. Sitting in the car to get to the airport, sitting in the chairs waiting to board and sitting in the plane waiting to arrive. And that can be hours. So, one thing I really like to do is walk around while I am waiting to board the airplane. Now I am not a stroller, I like to move. People do look at me as I am pumping my arms walking briskly up and down the airport halls! It really makes me feel better and every little activity helps to keep my spirits up. When you are on the plane, it is harder to move around. I carry my ipod and listen to some high energy music and dance in my seat. Yes, I am sure I look silly, but it is definitely fun! Unfortunately, I like to sing too. I tap my toe, I rock side to side and yep, I even squeeze the glutes. The singing part works my face muscles! Quietly of course. I haven't tried to do squats yet but that is a great option. I think I look silly enough singing and dancing in my seat, but hey, movin' and grovin' keeps us healthy and strong.
