Packing for business (or pleasure) travel is always a negotiation between the side of your brain that is practical and the side that is a bit more frivolous. Many of us pack way too many things or do not think through how to economize choices given the limited space that your bag offers.
You know who the main space hoggers are? Shoes. By the time you pack dress shoes, casual shoes, going-out shoes, and so on, a carry on suitcase is half full. Guess which shoes are usually left out? Exercise shoes.
Hey, its a great excuse for why you cannot work out for your entire four day business trip. I will not even go into the fact that you could probably come up with a hundred exercises that you could do with or without those shoes. But, for many people, lacking the right equipment on the road is another roadblock.
Here is a simple tip: tie your exercise shoes together and then through the handle on the OUTSIDE of your suitcase. I travel every week, and I have never been stopped or asked to repack them.
