Finding a Workout Program That Can Be Used While Traveling - By: Crazy Cabinet Guy, Posted on: 2008-09-28

The worst part about having to travel for a job is that it is nearly impossible to maintain my regular exercise routine and usual diet. It seems like everytime I get into a cycle of going to the gym on a regular basis, a long business trip would throw everything off. I would stop going to the gym, and my diet would go out the window (suddenly fast food and greasy meals would sneak back into the picture).

I always try to find a hotel that offers a workout room, but since my routine was based off of using weights, there was often nothing for me to use. I even joined one of the national gyms that had a lot of locations, thinking that might help me get to the gym more often, but with all days on the road it left little or no time to make it to the gym. What I really needed was a program that I could still use on the road, but didn't require gym equipment. My goal wasn't to build muscle or get ripped abs, just to find something that could help me maintain my current weight and muscle tone.

I starting reading up on various workout programs and weight loss routines, but they all seemed to revolve around lengthy workouts that required the use of weights. I started reading up about Mike Geary, who is a nutritionist and personal trainer that was making waves in the fitness community because of his workout book- The Truth About Six Pack Abs. The sales pitch about his book claimed that he could provide a workout that didn't require weights AND he would provide a nutritional guide to help maintain fat loss (this was exactly what I was looking for).

I am sure that there are other programs like his on the market, but I was really impressed with his approach to nutrition and his suggestions for eating sensible when making food choices. The best part was the workout programs that he crafted, which can be used in or out of the gym. While I won't be a body builder anytime soon, his program now allows me to get a workout from my hotel room while I am traveling for work. While I had already been utilizing most of the exercises, he put a great spin on them which allows me to get a great workout without using weights or having to locate a gym while on the road.

If you find yourself breaking your workout habits while traveling, whether for business or pleasure, I highly recommend taking a look at Mike Geary's book- The Truth About Six Pack Abs. Not only will it help with your exercise regiment, but it will also provide nutritional guidelines that you can use to improve your daily diet.
