A lot of people are starting to
travel much more frequently again,
but it doesn't mean that you have
to sacrifice your fitness routine.
So I spoke to fitness expert
Lisa Reed for some tips.
Well, we are so lucky to have
Lisa here to help us get in shape.
And also some tips as we're
starting to head out on the road.
You disrupt your normal routine.
Yes, traveling right now. They're
finally planning our summer vacations.
Well, I'm so excited to share my 3 tips
of how to stay fit while you travel.
I love it. Yeah, OK,
where do we start? The first one?
I never leave home without my food cooler
like I bring this tote with me everywhere.
You never know you just stuck on the tarmac.
You're going stuck in traffic.
The worst thing you can do for your health.
Is starve yourself and then like
end up eating fast foods right?
You know right?
So always bring your food
whether it's just for you,
bring a bigger cooler for your
family that looks like it collapses.
Really ohg it's amazing it washes
in the dishwasher and it's amazing.
Yeah and then also flying dehydrates
you so you want to make sure that
you bring a water bottle with you.
So bring your favorite water bottle,
fill it up after you you know
pass security right?
So you're always drinking because again,
flying dehydrates you OK.
And then lastly yes you can fit your
workout clothes and your sneakers.
And even exercise equipment in your suitcase.
Even the equipment, yeah.
What do you recommend we bring?
This is gone. Going on to my secret too.
OK,
OK you want the first thing you
know we're all wanna workout right?
But you wanna work out as soon as you
reach your destination why is that?
Well it helps a jet lag it boosts
your metabolism increases your energy.
So I trained with tennis player Monica
Seles and that's the first thing we
did when we get off that flight.
Whether it was in Tokyo or California,
we went to workout.
And if you're changing time zones,
I could see where. That would help it.
Yeah,
it's great and it really does boost your
energy and you gotta keep moving, right?
You've been sitting or,
you know, flying all day.
So this workout was less than 10 minutes.
You don't need a gym,
so all you need that you're packed in your
bag is a resistance band and a jump rope.
OK, so it doesn't take much.
No, it's awesome.
Just blast them calories,
you're gonna get your heart rate up.
So jump rope for one minute.
I'm going to place it on the ground because
anyone out there that doesn't jump rope.
This is how you do what you do.
You place this on the ground and you
can move quick feet over it and just.
One minute place of the traditional napping.
OK, the traditional job.
I mean,
you could jump in place,
but this is making sure it works in
your balance and your coordination
and and everything that better.
Feet yeah,
and then everything jiggling
you would do one minute.
Yes exactly and messing up and then
one minute of a strength exercise.
So resistance band squat is
that a light resistance.
It's pretty good and I do.
It is
absolutely like this so
you know it's fun to work
out with someone too.
You put it right by your shoulders.
And you're gonna squat it down nice,
OK, good good form 11 terrible I love it.
And so I would do the
one minute jumping rope.
I can switch my feet, you know,
keep your heart rate up.
You gotta keep blasting fat,
burn calories and get your muscle.
Because yes, muscle burns more
calories at rest than fats.
You've got to get the weight going.
Notice a big difference? Yeah?
And then I'll show you, yeah.
And a bit of a row.
This is great for upper body and
the posture of have been flying
and you're going to pull back.
Awesome,
you don't even need weight. It
would have the and you could do a press.
I'm gonna have you pick one of those.
You can maybe do a press.
OK, I can try the press and
again if you wanna contact me
at least read fitness.com I can,
you know share with you a free travel
workout that you can do my husband's
really big into the foam rolling
is yeah foam roller over there.
Do you just use that?
So I travel with my foam roller.
Yes, and this one's awesome
because it's collapsible.
I actually carry it in my golf bag
too so I warm up my back my shoulders
and activate my glutes before I play.
I've never seen.
Thing like that yeah, super cool right?
Great in your suitcase, no excuses.
OK, formally is excellent because
it levitates all that tension.
You know you may be slipping on
the wrong pillow or a different
mattress than you're used to.
Yeah, so this will elevate that
pain or been sitting a long time.
So this works on your glutes.
Gets those hit.
It hurts if you have back pain this
is going to help alleviate it.
So any of the attention it increases
circulation increases blood flow.
So it alleviates that tension in
your body and you can do everything
from the back of the shoulders.
To your chest,
so carry it with you everywhere and
that's so portable that's right.
