TRAVEL AND TRAINING

Traveling can throw your routine off, but it doesn’t have to derail your training.


While nutrition can certainly be a challenge, I want to zero in on workouts here. I see three main strategies that work when you’re on the road (and put together some fun descriptors of each):

1. Churn and Burn

Train hard before you leave so your trip doubles as recovery. You can still move while you’re away, but the pressure is lighter.


2. Show and Tell

Scope out a gym at your destination and keep your routine going. This takes a little research or a chain membership. Don’t forget to check the rules for day passes and make sure the hotel gym isn’t just a dusty treadmill and a broken bike.


3. Charades

Adapt your workouts to what you have. Pack bands, use bodyweight, or get creative in your space.

Which is best? Depends on your goals and your trip. A physically demanding trip? Churn and Burn might be perfect. Want structure? Show and Tell. Need ultimate flexibility? Do Charades.

The key is planning ahead so your workouts support your travel instead of competing with it.


At the end of the day, the point of traveling is to refresh, recharge and not completely fall off the rails.

So when you’re on the road, which strategy do you usually use?
