In fact, exercising at the airport will make your body and mind feel so much better.

As a result, many airports have gyms, yoga rooms and sometimes even swimming pools to work in some fitness on-the-fly. We all know that sitting for an extended period is terrible for you—whether you’re on a plane or not. By practicing inspiring airport exercises, your layover becomes a less sedentary one. Also, it will keep you away from the airport bar or lousy airport food.
