Stay fit while on vacation. Here are some travel workout videos and apps by Francisco Flores, MA, Fitness Center Manager.
Whether it’s for business, pleasure, or vacation, at some point in our lives we all depart from the comfort of our own home to visit another location. It might be a quick trip to the next town over for a business conference or a massive adventure halfway around the world for months at a time. No matter what kind of trip it is, one thing is certain:
Our normal routines get completely thrown out the window when traveling:
- If you work out in a gym, suddenly you might not have access to any equipment.
- If you run around your neighborhood, suddenly you no longer have a familiar path to follow.
- If you usually prepare your own meals, suddenly you don’t have a kitchen or fridge.
- If you’re used to a good night’s sleep, suddenly you’re sleeping at odd hours in a different time zone.
We are creatures of habit – while working a normal day job, we can stick to a routine pretty easily (wake up at the same time, eat all meals at the same time, work out at the same time, go to sleep at the same time). However, when we start traveling, absolutely nothing is familiar and the slightest speed bump can be enough to screw things up. We can’t stress enough just how important maintaining your hard-earned fitness foundation really is. You put all that time in at the gym, so why let it go? Here are some great videos, workout apps and best travel workouts you can do with no equipment.
