Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-5/8/14

Continuing to work out while travelling, you might fall into a rut. If that's the case, then roll with it. At least you have a routine. That's one of the hardest things to establish when away from home. Routine keeps you regularly engaged and is an absolute for fitness.

To break the routine, try to vary your running route if possible. Maybe even add a different exercise if you can.


30 push ups
30 body weight squats
Run 4.5 miles
Walk 1 mile


This book has some great exercises to consider while travelling. You can do most of them in one spot such as in your room, the parking lot, or a park.
