 Fly Fit:
How to Travel and Stay Agile
By Maggie Melanson
HRD Press, 2007
A few years ago, Americans were stunned one night to learn that David Bloom, a well-known and popular thirty-something reporter for NBC News, had died suddenly while covering the war in Iraq. The cause of death was reportedly “deep vein thrombosis,” a blood clot brought about by immobility. In Bloom’s case, this seemed to mean repeated immobility from cramped spaces in small vehicles into which he squeezed daily while traveling throughout the war zone.
The shock of Bloom’s death led Maggie Melanson to commit herself to finding a way to educate others about the importance of keeping fit and healthy even while traveling. In Fly Fit: How to Travel and Stay Agile (HRD Press, 2007), she fulfills her promise, outlining health and fitness tips that can be observed and practiced even while trapped on a long plane flight or waiting endlessly at an airport terminal for the signal to board.
Fly Fit tailors its fitness recommendations to the restrictions of such travel conditions. While boxed in on the plane itself, readers learn how to manage resistance exercises. While waiting in the terminal, they learn suggested yoga poses. Whether on the plane or stuck at the gate, readers will acquire details aerobics and stress reduction techniques. All of these can be done quietly, carefully and unobtrusively, yet effectively.
 Author Maggie Melanson comes to her book’s subject matter with a wealth of personal experience as her guide. The founder of a successful “healthy foods” catering service, she once determined to change her own unhealthy ways by revving up a personal exercise and meditation regime as well as shedding fifty excess pounds. In Fly Fit, she reveals her own personal challenges during this transformation as she advocates the value of toting healthy attitudes and practices alongside our suitcases even when traveling far, far from home.
