For good travel, it’s important to exercise, and I often quote the late martial artist/philosopher Bruce Lee to that effect: "Things move to live, the more they move, the stronger they get." In some places I’ve traveled to, I‘ve paid to join a private gym and spent some productive time with helpful trainers. But being the budget traveler that I am, mostly I normally exercise on my own with a combination of aerobics, body weight stuff, bending and stretching. You may like to go full on with weights and sophisticated apparatus in a gym, and that's fine, but if you prefer to practice yoga, dance, acrobatic, conventional exercises, or whatever you like for your workout, and you like doing it outdoors, the northern Thailand city of Chiang Mai has just the place for you -- Buak Hard Public Park.

Dave over here we have a program called silver sneakers...they pay for ymca membership as long as you go at least 3 times per week! It’s funded by Medicare! I use it at least that much per week! In our area they are trying to improve the parks with walking trails...I love them! Merry Christmas!
