Travel Workout Resources
Here are my favorite resources for keeping moving, while traveling. My goal is to always move each day, even if just for 20 minutes of walking around the block. A little something is better than nothing and I promise it is enough.
Go Online
My list of favorite online movement resources is always growing. These are the options me and my friends love most right now - I come back here and edit this list often. Spend a few minutes before you travel looking for videos or platforms that might inspire you. The internet is your oyster.
Yoga with Adriene is a great online yoga library on YouTube. She has done an excellent job of creating solid classes through the years.

Go Local
If you’ll be visiting a place for more than a few days, it can be great to try a local class and support small businesses and get local vibes, community and connection while you’re at it. There is nothing like the motivation of a person next to your suffering (I mean having fun) too!
Freeball It
I love putting on good music and dancing anywhere, anytime! When craving a little more, I put on my favorite workout mix (I love my own mega mix) on shuffle and set a workout timer (I use this Seconds App) for 20+ minutes duration. I set it up so I do 20+ circuits with 45 seconds of “work it”, and 15 seconds “break”. I generally do cardio, legs, arms, core moves in that order, on repeat, until my time is up. Jog around the block, jumping jacks, lunges, squats, push ups, dips, curls with wine bottles, planks, crunches all the old basics that you can do anywhere. I love this format for simplicity and crowd friendly. I can even get my kids to do this with me and they get to pick a move.
Bands Are Bomb
I love these stretchy bands (or these non latex) for giving me a little more options while exercising on the road.
