Last year I flew over 20,000 miles and over 2 dozen
airports, visiting New Zealand, Australia, LA, Florida,
Chicago, New York, Baltimore, Allentown, Detroit, and many
other cities, all to learn how to help you lose more fat.
In addition, I also learned - the hard way - about how
difficult it is to eat on the road, and when stuck in
airports for hours and hours at a time (as I was in
Washington one night for 7 extra hours).
The biggest thing you need to do is plan ahead, and that
goes for everything you do in your fat loss program, but
nutrition is the biggest component of your success.
And that's where people fail big-time when traveling. After
all, there isn't too much good food to eat in airports,
however, its easy to find nutritious food if you know where
to look (you can get apples and almonds, and often bananas
and even grilled chicken in most airports).
After nutrition, simple laziness is the next big hurdle we
have to overcome while traveling. It's easy to skip a
workout because you can say, "the hotel gym doesn't have
the equipment I'm used to"...but if you have a bodyweight
training resource, you know there are dozens of great
exercises you can do without the need for fancy machines.
Here are 7 tips to help you stay fit and not fat while
traveling.
1. It's up to you to pack good nutrition options for the
road since it's almost impossible to eat appropriately when
you are stuck in airports or on the road. Some healthy,
road-worthy snacks and fluids include water, Green Tea,
nuts, apples, and jerky.
2. Plan your business travel meals as much as possible so
that you can stick to the options provided in the nutrition
section. With all of the focus on nutrition these days,
airlines and hotels are much more accommodating in meeting
the special nutrition requirements of customers. Ask and
you will receive.
3. Make the necessary accommodations so that there is an
adequate hotel gym or nearby fitness establishment so that
you can continue with the regularly scheduled routine.
4. It is best to purchase a day-pass and go to a local gym
to work with a certified personal trainer. However, if
there is no time, and there is only a small hotel gym with
no weights, use one of the bodyweight-only workouts.
5. Schedule your workouts with as much dedication as you
schedule your business meetings. Take advantage of whatever
time slot is available during your travels for exercise.
Training is another appointment that can also be used as an
excuse to skip the unnecessary post-meeting cocktails and
calories.
6. Travel with a "maintenance mindset". Stick to your plan
and you'll return home without gaining any fat or losing
any fitness. Minimize the nutrition dangers of food, booze,
and inactivity with a positive mindset.
7. Spend waiting time walking. If you are enduring a
layover in an airport, walk around the airport for a
mini-workout if your schedule and surroundings permit.
Bonus Tip: Alternatively when on business travel, consider
using this time as a recovery week from training if you
have been training consistently. Stay active, but allow
yourself some mental recovery from a strict training
schedule.
So stay strong and stay fit when you are on the road. This
year, I'm off to Las Vegas, Nashville, and Hawaii. I'll be
using these tips to burn fat on the road.
