Fitness for Travelers

The idea for World Hum contributor Suzanne Schlosberg’s latest book came to her while she was working out at the world’s most inadequate gym, which is located in the basement of an overpriced hotel in Marrakesh, Morocco. “My instinct was to blow off the workout. Between the flimsy equipment and my general feeling of lethargy, I had a couple of decent excuses,” she writes in the introduction to Fitness for Travelers. “But then I rallied…Afterward, I felt much, much better.” That incident inspired Schlosberg to compile fitness tips and routines for travelers taken from her own experiences and those of an array of fellow wanderers, many of whom also share anecdotes about the lengths they go to stay fit on the road. Among those Schlosberg spoke with are a sex therapist, an American political big wig and, most noteworthy, Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer Michael Cartellone.
