Schlosberg combines extensive resources with motivational advice from some of the world's busiest travelers to arm people of all fitness levels with the confidence, skills, and know-how to create their own travel fitness program. In this book, you will find

* More than 25 workouts for any location or situation

* Resources for finding gyms, running routes, and pools around the world

* Guidance for creating your own travel workouts

* Advice for eating more healthfully on the fly

* Essential gadgets for the fit traveler's suitcase

More About the Author

SUZANNE SCHLOSBERG is the author of THE CURSE OF THE SINGLES TABLE: A True Story of 1001 Nights Without Sex, chronicle of a dry spell that lasted longer than the Kennedy administration.

The Streak isn't the only feat of endurance Suzanne has parlayed into writing gig. Shortly after marrying her lovable, redheaded Streakbreaker, Suzanne began a long, elusive quest to get knocked up. The experience spawned THE ESSENTIAL FERTILITY LOG and an essay for Fit Pregnancy magazine titled "I Used an Egg Donor." Oh, and fraternal twins.

When she's not writing about prenatal hemorrhoids, infant vomit or toddler tantrums, Suzanne is busy informing exercisers about the latest ways to strengthen their glutes. Suzanne is the author of THE ULTIMATE WORKOUT LOG and coauthor, with Liz Neporent, of FITNESS FOR DUMMIES and WEIGHT TRAINING FOR DUMMIES. Another recent collaboration: THE ULTIMATE DIET LOG, written with Cynthia Sass, MA, RD, creator of the New York Times bestseller Flat Belly Diet!

The latest from Suzanne: THE GOOD NEIGHBOR COOKBOOK, quite the ironic project for someone who has befriended numerous night managers at Baja Fresh. Alas, Suzanne did not create the recipes for the book, leaving that to her fabulous collaborator, Real Simple recipe developer and chef Sara Quessenberry.

This book was just what I needed to maintain my workouts while traveling. The sections on different exercises with or without equipment were perfect, because you can't always predict what space/equipment will be available.

5.0 out of 5 stars My friend loved this little gem of a book!, September 13, 2011

I bought this for a friend who is on the road constantly. She loved it--and it has gotten her working out regularly everyday from her hotel room. I'm now buying a copy for myself. :-)
