Who says you can't merge two resolutions? Having a game plan as to how to continue exercising while traveling makes the temporary transition seamless.

Here are five items that are easy to pack and use while doing your healthy and fun movement. They are also made in the USA.

1. Exercise Bands

2. Jump Rope

3. Yoga mat
