How do you continue your exercising routine when you can’t follow it, like when you’re traveling or visiting friends?

I’ve committed to do some kind of body work everyday. Whether it’s gym, or stretching, or body mapping or a mountain bike ride. And to be kind to myself if I don’t always get to do it.

I have a set of TRX ropes that can go right in the suitcase and some Pilates workouts on my phone. If there’s a gym available, I have a couple of weights workouts stored in my Gymatic app, so knowing *what* to do isn’t a problem. When I’m on business travel alone I like to do body weight exercises in the room – I have PTSD, and I don’t feel safe going to the gym by myself. If I’m with someone else, I’ll go to the gym if it’s not too crowded. At a minimum I can do TRX squats and rows, some desk pushups, and a short Pilates workout. If I were visiting friends, I’d do the same thing. If they are gym goers I can go with them as a guest. If not, I can take a half hour a day to do TRX and Pilates.

What is done is passed, I usually think. It is more important to keep your routine than exactly what you do for an exercise. On an everyday routine I do a short yoga routine every morning, but when I am away traveling or late, I do 5 squats. Just like that, 5 squats and nothing more. It may not be a lot, but it helps in keeping the routine going ^^ at least for me.

I will continue to do my little excerise routine when I first wake up I will go to the gym at the hotel for about 30 mins

Sometimes I miss a few days, it is important to remember that does not mean the whole routine is lost. Mostrly I try to do at least some exercise, even if it is shorter the usual or at a different time of the day.

The key is to find a way to move your body that feels good. Routine can have it’s own benefits, but try to take advantage of whatever is around you! Traveling: use the opportunity to explore new surroundings by renting a bicycle and going sight seeing. With friends: how about a game of frisbee or doing an internet fitness video together? Using your resources well shows gratitude to the universe and prepares you to receive greater abundance!

Well that is a great question. I haven’t tried it yet. But I’ve been thinking about it. I’m going from Colorado to New York for a week and I plan I hanging out at friends houses this summer. I’ve been thinking that since I’m going to New York with pretty close to strangers. I’ll get to know them and then say well I have a routine and hope go follow it. I have a simple exercise plan. You guys can join me or just watch either way is fine. And with my friends we just walk around town and talk and sometimes bike. So I consider that enough workout.

I’m not always great at this but setting your alarm a little earlier than you need to get up helps! Just make some time for it.

I do them anyways. Where I can, in the bathroom, at night when everyone is asleep. It doesn’t matter, its all about discipline. Its all about comitment and ypur desire.

To stick with my exercising routine when traveling I couldn’t do my workout either early in the morning or late at night. If I’m with a friend when I need to do my workout I could ask for the friend to join.
