Exercise can be one of the best ways to ease travel anxiety. Airports provide a lot of options for physical activities. Here is a helpful list of places you can work out at in major U.S. airports.

Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI)

Travelers can buy a $25 day pass, $65 three-pass pack, $100 five-pass pack, or a $30 per-month unlimited use annual membership for Roam Fitness, located after security next to gate D1. The facility lends Lululemon clothing and Brooks running shoes and has four showers that can be reserved 24 hours in advance.

Chicago Midway International Airport $(MDW)$

A yoga room in Concourse C has sustainable bamboo floors, cubbies for baggage storage, and complimentary mats.

Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)

A walking path endorsed by the American Heart Association is located in Terminal D. Measuring seven-tenths of a mile, the path aligns with 12 floor mosaics -- part of the airport's art program. Want an extra burn? Climb the two 55-foot high staircases that lead up to the Skylink stations and terminal walkways. The free, 24-hour yoga room in Terminal E has reopened with complimentary mats while the yoga studio in Terminal B remains closed.

Denver International Airport $(DEN)$

There are plans to create designated walking routes within the terminals. For now, the best place to get some activity is the 82,000-square-foot open-air plaza located before security at the south end of the Jeppesen Terminal. Travelers can learn about events, such as pop-up yoga classes, from DIA's social-media feeds (@denairport) during a dedicated wellness week. A free mini golf course is open for one month each summer (around 4,500 travelers played this summer, according to an airport spokesperson) and from November through January a complimentary ice skating rink includes free skate rentals.

Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas $(LAS)$

Zero Level Fitness in Terminal 1 primarily sees use from airport and airline employees, but travelers can purchase day passes for $25 that include access to cardio and weight equipment as well as locker rooms.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport $(ATL)$

Travelers can take in an immersive art experience while walking between concourses in the Transportation Mall, located on the lower level where passengers catch the Plane Train. The length is about 1.7 miles from Concourse F to the baggage claim.

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport $(MSP)$

A dedicated 1.4-mile walking path created in partnership with the American Heart Association's Start! Walking program loops Gates C1-C12, the skyway connecting Concourses C and G, and the airport mall.

Salt Lake City International Airport $(SLC.AU)$

The lengthy concourses of Salt Lake City's new airport are a nightmare for harried travelers, but ideal if you're killing time by getting in your steps. You will log 0.6 mile trekking from Concourse B to baggage claim.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

Two dedicated yoga rooms can be found post-security in Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. Complimentary yoga mats are available and the mats and space are disinfected regularly.
