Travel workouts: 10 exercises you can do while travelling

Workout when travelling.

In light of the fact that most work slows to a trickle around the world, many offices are closed, schools are out for the holiday break, and there is a pleasant nip in the air in addition to the cheery holiday spirit, this is one of the busiest travel seasons of the year. You are likely a lot more adaptable and flexible when it comes to your fitness and exercise routines now that you have survived a pandemic that forced you to convert your home into a multipurpose space (office, school, nursery, gym) in addition to its primary use as a family abode — making it easier for you to stay active while you enjoy a vacation.

Bengaluru-based The co-founder of Wow Skin Science, Manish Chowdhary, looks for tennis and paddle courts everywhere he goes to get in a game or two to keep up his busy schedule.

Darshan Mehta, the head of Reliance Brands, frequently travels and always packs his running shoes first. He has run in more than 200 places globally. Whether he is travelling for work or pleasure, he still goes for his runs.

Businessman Shahid Lokhandwala, who commutes between Mumbai and Pune, looks for a CrossFit gym wherever he goes and makes an effort to work out at least three times a week.

As per Sandeep Sachdev, trainer, nutritionist, and co-founder of Mumbai's Easy Human fitness studio and café, "There are so many training alternatives and resources accessible, no matter where you go, you really have no excuse to not workout except that you don't feel like it." If you wish to ride, most cities have some kind of bike sharing app or bike rental business. There are running clubs all around that are friendly if you wish to go for a run. Several CrossFit boxes and gyms offer pay-as-you-go drop-in alternatives. Thus, many locations have good fitness equipment set up in open spaces like parks and promenades so that anybody may workout for nothing.

Moreover, there are significant advantages to exercising when travelling. If you keep up your workout routine, you'll notice that you have a lot more energy and passion for doing things. Second, exercising or engaging in a sport will increase your appetite and help you digest food and liquids. Thirdly, you are less likely to lament "holiday weight gain" if you keep up your workout routine. Fourthly, it will guarantee continuity, which means you won't experience muscular pain or difficulty when you resume after a break.

To workout while travelling, you don't even need to visit a gym or look for a yoga studio. If you stick to bodyweight exercises like yoga, you could perform it almost anyplace. When it comes to exercise, "some intelligent planning and thinking outside the box can make it both exciting and productive at the same time," says Sachdev. He believes HIIT (high intensity interval training) is a terrific format that checks all the right boxes and is really beneficial.

Karthik Kashyap, a yoga instructor with a Doctorate in yoga and philosophy from Mangalore University, advises students who enjoy yoga but lack the time to dedicate to an hour-long session to just execute the Suryanamaskars, which are both a basic yoga sequence and an efficient strength training exercise. Despite the frequent reports on social media of people performing 100 or even 500 Suryanamaskars, you don't actually need to do that many. For the majority of people, performing five to ten Suryanamaskars with perfect form and technique is sufficient exercise.
