Exercise keeps your mind and body alert and decreases stress levels. Stay in shape anywhere with these helpful hints.

• Running or walking through local parks or on trails keeps you in shape and familiarizes you with your new surroundings.
• Walk to your destination if possible. Ask yourself, "If I were in Europe or New York City, would this destination be out of walking distance?"
• Sal Anthony of Sal Anthony's Movement Studio recommends turning on some music and simply dancing. He suggests that when one "breathes, moves and dances, the body instantly starts to align."
• If toning is your goal, you can work your lower half by doing three sets of 12 standing lunges on each side every other day.
• Pack a jump rope. This effective and portable tool gets circulation going and generates a healthy glow. Jump for a few minutes to start and gradually increase your jumping time.
