5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Great Book!, November 10, 2000

By A Customer

I really enjoyed this book. As a frequent traveler I really found the information on exercise, nutrition, and physiology interesting and informative. I found the book to be very easy to read and apply to my travels. Since reading the book, I have been able to make many changes in my travel routine. Now I feel more rested, and healthier in mind and body while on the road, and after I return. I have been able to stay in great shape, eat right, and feel super in spite of my hectic travel schedule. All of the information that I needed to accomplish this, I found in Travel Fitness.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel better on the road, and enjoy their vacation time more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dated but still interesting and useful, December 26, 2008

I found the bits about the various biorhythms most interesting--how your basal body temperature, hormones, metabolism, and sleep patterns all work on different and overlapping cycles. There's also a jetlag avoidance planning section I found helpful.

I lent this to a coworker for whom, it seems, improved fitness was not enough help him manage his travel. He quit before returning the book and hasn't been in touch since. I assume he kept it because he liked it.
