"It’s entirely possible to maintain strength, flexibility, and endurance on the go"
Traveling can make it challenging to stick to a fitness routine, but with the right approach and equipment, it’s entirely possible to maintain strength, flexibility, and endurance on the go. Sondre Berg, movement athlete and founder of Movement Made* is here to help with a guide to travel workouts, featuring exercises that require minimal equipment and fit perfectly with a minimalist and sustainable lifestyle. Whether you’re outdoors, at an airport, or a hotel room, these workout tips and equipment suggestions ensure that your fitness routine doesn’t take a vacation.
Why Travel-Friendly Workouts Matter:
Frequent travelers know the impact that time zones, long flights, and unfamiliar environments can have on physical well-being. Regular movement, however, can boost energy levels, reduce stiffness, and keep you feeling your best. With portable fitness equipment, staying active becomes simpler and more sustainable, without the need to rely on a gym.
Movement Made’s selection of sustainable and compact workout gear ensures you have what you need, wherever you are. Here’s what we recommend for travel-friendly workouts:
-*Resistance Bands: Lightweight, compact, and versatile, resistance bands allow you to work your upper and lower body with minimal impact on your luggage space.
-*Travel-Friendly Gym Rings: Perfect for bodyweight exercises, gym rings are easily packable and allow for a wide range of movements to build strength and flexibility.
-Compact Yoga Mat: A small yoga mat provides a clean surface for exercises or stretching, whether you’re in a park or hotel room.
-LUNA Sandals: Ideal for those who love to combine outdoor adventures with fitness. LUNA Sandals are designed for barefoot-style running, hiking, and outdoor training, offering freedom of movement and a natural connection to the ground. Lightweight and easy to pack, they’re perfect for active travelers who want to explore trails or practice grounding exercises wherever they go.
Fitness Tips for Busy Schedules:
Maintaining a fitness routine on the go doesn’t require hours of commitment. Consistency is key, so even a quick 20-minute session makes a difference. Here are some tips to keep your workouts efficient and effective:
1. Prioritize Multi-Muscle Exercises:
Maximize the effectiveness of each movement by doing exercises that target multiple muscle groups.
2. Use Bodyweight Movements: Bodyweight exercises require no equipment and can be done anywhere, making them ideal for travel. Pair them with a short run or walk to create a balanced routine that boosts both strength and cardiovascular fitness.
3. Incorporate Stretching: Include stretches to stay flexible and reduce soreness. A light walk or jog beforehand can warm up your muscles, making your stretches more effective and reducing the risk of injury.
