This summer you travel to reunions, beaches, and family vacations. Will the burgers and potato salad take the place of your crunches and bicep curls? This fall during Thanksgiving and the winter holidays, will work trips and family gatherings lead you to airport food and fattening cooking instead of the treadmill and fitness smoothies?

On a recent business trip to Boston, I got up at 6 a.m. to only find the hotel gym treadmills full. In Buffalo, N.Y. during a family holiday trip last winter there was too much snow to run outside, and no one wanted to put down the turkey baster long enough to take me to the gym. I had no equipment and no workout videos.

That's why I created my new Fit Travel Workout. Here are some of my Fit Travel Tips to get you through summer vacations with a beach body:

1. 
   Yoga paws. These are small and inexpensive little sticky mat gloves for your hands and feet. I keep them in my carry-on so I can do yoga without packing a big mat.
2. Pack light and organize with packing cubes. They are little cloth and mesh zippered bags to keep you organized
   
3. Exercise tubing, takes the place of weights, without taking up space and adding heft to your suitcase
   
4. Wear your sneakers on the plane/train or bus to save suitcase room.
   
5. Pack one outfit for each day, then one extra nice thing and one extra casual that
6. Double your pjs as your workout clothes, sleep in, sweat in, then switch.
   
7. Double your sports bras and running undees as bathing suits. I recommend Patagonia for pretty patterns, thick fabric and stay-put fit.
   
8. Pack some fitness motivation like these columns, blogs, a travel workout DVD or e-mail/Twitter fitness updates.
   
9. Plan a workout in early so you don't mess up anyone’s travel/sightseeing schedules or feel it tapping our shoulder all day.
   
10. Pick travel, sight-seeing activities that involves a hike,walking tour, adventure park, such as zip lines, swinging from ropes, rock wall climbing swimming, snorkeling, etc.

And most of all, have a Fit Trip.
