Training on the Go!

WHEN YOU WANT TO GET A WORKOUT IN, you normally think that you need to sign up for a gym membership, especially in the month of January for your New Year’s resolution. Now this article is not to discourage having a gym membership, but instead, give a perspective on how to integrate having a home and/or on-the-go workout routine. This is so you can be consistent with training and maximize your goals. How, you ask?

We know life is always busy and that it’s hard to fit in everything we want to do in one day, but when you set goals that you want to accomplish, you are making a promise to yourself. Don’t break that promise to yourself. Keep true to yourself and stick with it.

With the New Year, I’m sure some of you have made it a priority to start working out on your own or to hire a personal trainer. I believe this is one of the first steps to achieving your new goals. Another step that would aid you in your goal is to have some home equipment for the days you either cannot go to the gym or see your trainer due to scheduling or travel.

Having some home equipment can help you stay on track towards your targets and not feel as overwhelmed. Remember you are saving time driving to the gym and parking on those busier days, if you already have some equipment at home. You can do a modified workout or even use at home workout programs online through YouTube, Beachbody, Peloton, etc. Of course, you would pick a program that synergistically matches what you are currently doing at the gym or with the trainer.

Some of the key pieces of equipment I suggest having at home are:

• Resistance bands

• Adjustable Dumbbells

• Adjustable Bench

• Rubber Floor Mat

• Plyometric Box

• Medicine Ball

• Kettlebell

These are just some of the many pieces of equipment you can have at home, but when you travel it’s hard to take all that with you, so the best option is to pack your resistance bands.

You can do so many different workouts with resistance bands because there are a wide variety of resistance band sizes, shapes, and tensions. So, remember, always keep striving to obtain your workout goals by getting in a workout at home on a busier day where you can’t make it to the gym or if you’re on a vacation. l
