Do you regularly find yourself thousands of feet above the ground at any given time? Regular travel can make it difficult to find time for fitness … unless you know a guy. I’m that guy: here’s how to stay active—in a tiny hotel room or in a sardine can otherwise known as an airplane.
When I used to work in a gym, the two main barriers clients cited for not being regular exercisers: time and money. In response, I created a do-anywhere full-body workout that doesn’t require equipment. It can be done in a gym, a park, heck, even your hotel room will do! Before we travel any farther, I want to challenge personal trainer zeitgeist and say that “not having enough time” is a perfectly legitimate reason not to exercise during occasional lapses in an otherwise active routine. Fitness is a purposeful action, and detoxifying your lifestyle is no small task when you’re busy travelling. But you have to create time for you, because no one else will. This means finding 15 minutes in your hotel room after getting back from the conference and before you shower for the dinner meeting. Just remember: like Jell-O, there’s always room for fitness!
