      Research the various walking trails that are located in the vicinity of your hotel. If possible, determine whether it is possible to walk to some of the nearby attractions. If it is, make a pact with your traveling companions to do so.

      Purchase resistance bands and tubes. They are versatile, portable and affordable. While they are available on-ine, in recent years they have become so popular that they can also be found at Walmart, Target and TJ Maxx. Bands can be used for upper body and lower body exercises. Most come with a small workout chart, which can be folded up and packed in your luggage.

      Choose hotels that have a fitness center. If you can afford it, The Westin Hotels have Westin Reebok Rooms, which feature some sort of aerobic equipment, weights and a stability ball. Even budget hotels usually have swimming pools. Before you leave, purchase a water exercise video and memorize some of the exercises.
