Default How do you stay healthy on the road?

Between working out, packing food for trips etc. etc. How does the rest of the world stay healthy and in shape on 3 and 4 day trips?
Cheers!

Last year I started carrying my meals. I save money, eat healthier and the best part...dont risk getting sick from some of the crappy food we encounter. It is a pain sometimes because i'm a commuter, and its an extra bag.

I like to bring my running shoes and shorts on all my trips, just in case. Been going on two years now and have yet to have to use them. Good thing I lug them all over the country, just in case.

I have heard of a few guys investing in P90X. And I saw an ad on here yesterday for it. Although, I've seen their website, I'm not completely sold on the program. Anyone have any experience with this?

3-4 days?

That would be easy!

I'm still trying to figure out how to do this for 8-10 day trips.

I know a couple people who did P90X. The workouts are pretty intense but if you stick with it, you can see a big difference... The downside is if you buy all the bells and whistle's it gets pretty expensive.
