Travel Workouts

 

Travel can throw off even the best routines—flights, long drives, busy schedules, and family time make it hard to stick to your normal training. But the goal isn’t perfection while you’re away, it’s consistency in a different form. Some movement is always better than none. 

 Shifting your mindset helps. Instead of trying to follow your program exactly, ask: how can I move today?  

A quick hotel workout, a walk exploring somewhere new, or a short hotel gym session all count.

On this trip I did some Tabatas right in the hotel room...

:20 on/ :10 off- 8 intervals 

Air Squat

Push-up

Sit-up

Lunge

and one day the workout was a very quick 

21-15-9 

Med Ball Cleans 

Dumbbell Push Press

It’s also been great to see hotel gyms improving. Many now have medballs, kettlebells, heavier dumbbells, and even barbells. On this trip, having a barbell allowed me to get at least one full day of my programming in from Jim...

Front Squat 

3-3-3-3

+ accessory work! 

+ some CrossFit
5 Rounds:

1:00 on the Rower

5 Split Jerks

5 Trap Bar Deadlifts

It wasn’t perfect—but it was enough. 

 Intensity may look a little different when you travel, and that’s okay. Sleep, nutrition, and schedule aren’t always ideal, so dialing it back and focusing on quality movement can be the right move. At the same time, travel is about being present, being there for family time, experiences, and rest matters too. Not every day needs a workout, and not every workout needs to be hard. Fitness should support your life—not compete with it.
