Staying Fit While Traveling

Finding ways to stay fit while traveling can be challenging, but it’s definitely doable. Everyone’s approach will look a little different, but I want to share my perspective and hope it helps you stay active and feel good while on the go.


In my everyday life at home, my routine is locked in: I work out every morning after writing and working on my business. Since I train daily, I don’t stress about squeezing in a workout when I’m traveling for just a day or two. I use those short trips as rest days, knowing my body is recovering and that I’ll be back in the gym soon enough.


Longer trips, however, require a little more planning to stay active. Take my current two-week trip as an example. We’ve been hiking and climbing rocks most days, often trekking for 3-5 hours. These activities have been a great way to keep my body moving while also exploring the outdoors.


On days when our hikes are shorter or we have less activity planned, I make sure to do quick workouts to keep my momentum going. Here’s an example:


- At the Airbnb, I knocked out 10 rounds of 15 air squats and 10 push-ups. It wasn’t a grueling workout, but it was enough to maintain my strength and, more importantly, my routine.


- At a park, we found pull-up bars and dip bars. I did 10 rounds of 5 pull-ups and 5 dips. This one was tougher, and I felt the muscle soreness for days!


These short, simple workouts are effective for maintaining strength and staying consistent. Plus, they don’t take up much time, which means I can still enjoy the trip without feeling tied to a strict gym schedule.


Nutrition also plays a huge role. We prefer to stay in Airbnbs so we can cook our own meals and stick to healthier options instead of relying on eating out. It’s a small step that makes a big difference.


Remember, the goal while traveling isn’t necessarily to improve your fitness or hit personal records. It’s about maintaining momentum, staying active, and enjoying the trip. Don’t stress about missing a workout or taking a rest day. Do what you can, keep moving when possible, and enjoy the experience.


I hope these tips inspire you to find a balance between fitness and travel. Stay active, stay healthy, and enjoy every moment of your adventure!
