Fitness Devices to Pack While Traveling to Stay in Shape

Staying in shape while you are traveling is beyond difficult. I know this because I play professional basketball and am always on the go.

Whether you are on a business trip, vacation, holiday away from home or any other reason, a lot of us wish we could travel and stay healthy at the same time.

Along with this, it should be affordable to be healthy.

Right?

Well, these “fitness devices” I am listing below are inexpensive and useful for making it to stay fit on the road!

Read the article to find out what they are!

Fat Gripz Make Any Hotel-Gym Good Enough!

Most of the time when you are on the road, “good enough” is about the best you can expect in terms of a fitness facility.

If you are in a hotel and they at least have a row of dumbbells up to 40 or 50 lbs, your pair of Fat Gripz will be able to quickly double the intensity of your workout and make the fitness center good enough for a great workout!

Along with this, Fat Gripz are awesome because they are only about $40 on Amazon, and you can use them for years!

This one-time investment will help you improve your body whether you are on the road, or not!

Especially for the times that you are traveling, having your pair of Fat Gripz will make it numerous times easier to get an awesome workout in!

If you want to learn more about different exercises to do with your new pair of Fat Gripz, here is the link with more information.

A Jump-Rope is Good, Almost Everywhere!

My first tip is to not try to take your jump rope through the main security check in the airport, it is a much better decision to put it in your checked bag below the plane.

I’ve made that mistake before, and it takes a while to explain.

Seriously though, a jump rope is your best friend while traveling.

You can use this fitness device outside, in nearly any fitness center, or simply any open space with enough room for the rope itself.

Along with this, jump ropes burn a ton of calories in a short amount of time!

Just give yourself 20-30 minutes with your jump rope, and you will easily get yourself a great workout for the day.

It is not expensive to purchase one either!

Expensive jump ropes, such as the ones from RX Smart Gear, can range from $55-$125.

However, you can easily purchase a great jump rope for about $10 many different places.

This is a great fitness device you should always travel with!

A Jump Rope and a Yoga Mat is All You Need to Go!

A jump rope and a yoga mat are all you need to stay in shape while traveling, and here’s why.

Bringing a yoga mat along with you when you travel is an excellent decision because not only can you do traditional stretching, you can venture in to pilates and more intense bodyweight conditioning exercises.
There are more pricey yoga mats such as the one’s from Manduka, but even this could well be considered to be very affordable at a $100 price tag as they are “designed to last a lifetime, or 2.”

There are many inexpensive options for yoga mats, and a lot of these are quality themselves.

Spending just $30-$40 will land you a very good yoga mat!

You can setup a space for a yoga mat in nearly every hotel room, and the health benefits are incredible.

Aside from the fact yoga is very healthy for the human body in general, it is particularly useful while traveling because your body will be even more tired and stiff than usual.

20-30 minutes of yoga per day will make a dramatic difference in how you feel while traveling, helping you to get the most out of your new experiences!

I bring my yoga mat with me wherever I go, and it has helped me stay much healthier than I would have otherwise.

Concluding Thoughts

In my opinion, Fat Gripz, a jump rope, and a yoga mat are the 3 best affordable fitness devices you can purchase to take with you while you travel.

Fat Gripz are excellent while traveling because you can make any dumbbell rack or cable machine more useful by simply attaching Fat Gripz. With these, you will be able to challenge yourself anywhere!

A jump rope can get your cardiovascular training in nearly anywhere you will be going, and it will do much more for your body that that as well.

A yoga mat is perfect for loosening up your body while traveling, as well as helping you to improve your health in a variety of other ways.

Along with these benefits, one of the other main advantages of these devices is that they do not take up much space, and they are easily implemented in to your life while traveling.

Especially for people who will be working out or doing their best to stay healthy while traveling anyways, adding these three products to your travel kit will make a great difference!
