TRAVEL TRAINING

• Try and do something every day. This can be something as simple as a walk somewhere. Or it could be a challenging workout.
• Pick an activity that you find enjoyable that you will keep doing or can build on.
• Get a training buddy. Are you on a business trip with a colleague that is also trying to work on improving their overall health? It’s much more motivating having someone to train with.
• Get outside and into the fresh air. The thought of being stuck on a treadmill in a gym doesn’t appeal to me much either.
• Keep training short but intense. There are a multitude of benefits to this but one of the biggest when it comes to business travel is you don’t need much time.
• Do things that use the whole body where possible. I’m not a fan of machine training. Machines do all the stabilising work for us and most of the time involve sitting down. We do enough sitting down in life already without trying to make it part of our workout.
• Bodyweight exercises are great and just using your body without any equipment can be extremely challenging. I guarantee you’ll feel it.
• Try and train in a way that’s relevant to the way we move in our every day lives. Use the body, dumbbells, kettle bells, Bosu and stability balls, a TRX, slide pads, medicine balls and bands that make the body stabilise itself while you train.
• Cables in a gym are great but normally there just aren’t enough of them.  I like cables because they allow movement in every angle and every direction whilst creating a resistance.
• For a 15-20 body blast workout I want as much bang for my buck as possible. I’ll try and get everything involved. I want to do something that involves pushing,  pulling as well as using the legs and the core. The heart and the lungs should also be challenged.
