Using Bands to workout while Traveling by Michael Mednick

Do you ever find yourself frustrated when you get to your destination from traveling only to be met with a not so nice workout facility? Or how about those lengthy hours in the airport between flights? Or even better yet… are you just not able to find the time in your busy traveling schedule to even get a quick workout in? Or you possibly might just want to do a little workout in the comfort of your own room!

Welcome to the “reality” of traveling!! First and foremost my name is Michael Mednick and I’ve spent many hours of my life traveling as well as finding myself in all of the above situations. My whole concept with wellness while you travel is to prepare and be ready to MOVE! When you prepare you’re more apt to adapt to your circumstances that arise while you travel. And movement is the “key” in feeling better. Here are some basic suggestions that I can give you while you travel … my favorite choice of equiptement that I would suggest for you to have while traveling would be a resistance band or tube. They are very easy to use as well as easy to travel with and most importantly … they get the job done!

I suggest the following exercises:

  • Upper Back Squeeze with the band or tube (holding onto the band or tube with your hands are shoulder width apart, in front of your body and simply pulling the band or tube outward towards your sides with the band or tube touching you across the chest. Moving energy through your body and into your rear shoulders.)
  • Push Ups are always a great exercise weather your doing them against a wall or on the ground.
  • Wall Sitting is a great stabilizer for your entire body and a all around great lower body strengthener (sit against a wall or door as if you were sitting on a chair, make sure that you keep your feet and legs shoulder distance apart and that your knees aren’t over your feet.)
  • Bicep Curl with a band or tube is good as well (put the band or tube under your feet while you’re standing shoulder distance apart and simply curl your arms upwards to create a pump in your biceps.)

I hope these simple yet effective exercises help you stay fit while you travel and remember to always “move” your energy with positive attitude.

  • I have a set of bands and I love using them while traveling! I have all the different colors and I do mostly pilates, but those alone are tough to begin with! It is a great workout.
