When on a business trip, research on the place you’re going to and find out what sights you can squeeze into your schedule--festivals, museums, markets, and the like are ideal, especially if your trip lasts longer than a week and you'll have time on the weekends to be a tourist. Invite your colleagues to join you in your explorations, and try to walk rather than take cabs or metros whenever you can. This will let you get a better feel of the locale, and you can set a good pace for cardio as well.
Don't have the time? Try and make use of your hotel’s facilities and ask your co-workers if they’re up for a swim or a volleyball or badminton game after office hours. This will help you build rapport with your team and get fit at the same time!
If these options are unavailable, incorporate as much aerobic activity into your routine. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, or do leg and arm exercises at your desk. Use part of your lunch hour to take a walk. Depending on how full your schedule is, this might be your only form of physical activity so you should make the most of it.
