How To Maintain Your Fitness When Travelling For Work Or A Holiday
Travelling
can throw a spanner in the works of your fitness routine. It’s particularly
frustrating when you’ve been doing really well, you’re in a great routine and
then a disruption knocks you off course.
What type
of travel you are doing will determine your course of action. If you’re going
on a holiday, that is a one-time event and you can manage it. Take a bit of
down time, don’t be too structured. Focus on being active. Do things you enjoy
and have some fun. Swim, hike, play sports, and treat yourself to some relaxation.
Of course
if you want to keep a little more structure, you can work out in your hotel
room, or find a gym.
Whatever
you do for 1-2 weeks isn’t that important in the grand scheme of things, so
don’t beat yourself up about it. Place your focus on getting right back into a
good routine as soon as you get home.
If you
travel regularly, such as for work, then that is a different thing to deal
with. You will need to work the travelling into your plans.
Firstly,
always pack your gym gear. When dressed for exercise, it will help you mentally
switch off from work. Devise a workout that you can do in your hotel room or
check if your hotel has a gym or even a pool. If you travel to the same place
regularly, find out where the local gym is and treat it as your gym away from
home.
No gym?
No worries. A brisk walk or run is a great way to take in the new surroundings
and can be done before or after your working day.
Does your
hotel have a flight of stairs? A few runs up and down the stairs will work out
your legs and boost your cardio while staying safe indoors. If using emergency
stairs, make sure public access is allowed first before setting off alarms!
When you travel regularly, don’t use it as an excuse to get out of your routine, or you will forever remain helpless. Acknowledge it is part of your life, then plan around it to ensure you get the results you are looking for.
