For more than 20 years, Alexander Cherkassky has worked as a leader and manager in the health sciences industry. Before starting his current position as a senior director at Fluidigm, he was platform director of clinical and medical devices at Thermo Fisher Scientific in Waltham, Massachusetts. When not occupied with his duties, Alexander Cherkassky enjoys playing and watching soccer, exercising, and travel.
People who travel extensively often struggle to maintain an exercise routine, due to the time and distance from their gym. If this is the case and the hotel has no fitness room with equipment, pack running shoes, resistance bands, a foldable yoga mat, or a jump rope, since these are easy to transport.
Another way to stay active during trips is to pick exercises that do not require equipment or leaving the lodging. Use calisthenics and yoga techniques, do push-ups, lunges, and sit-ups, or try Pilates. It is easy to find items that can work as weights in the hotel room, or use a chair for chair dips.
For those who enjoy working out with other people, search online for a local class, such as spin or dance class.
