Staying fit while traveling, & working out while traveling is something a lot of people struggle with. Whether you are traveling for work or on a vacation you somehow find a reason you can’t workout; They don’t have a gym, I don’t have enough space, I’m on vacation. We all have been there with the excuses. However, I am here to tell you can stay fit and have fun doing it while traveling!
I was recently on vacation in the British Virgin Islands chartering a sailboat. Even though I was on vacation the workouts didn’t stop! I wasn’t able to do everything I normally do, but I still was able to get a good sweat on and have fun doing it! Check out my video from down there where you will hear from me on what exercises you can do while traveling and having little space, as well as how to use your environment to get a fun workout in. There is also a list of my favorite exercises to work your arms, legs, and core using just your bodyweight. Check out the video below.
Also below is a great traveling workout you can do just using your bodyweight. Check it out and take it with you on your next trip!
