Working Out While On The Road...

I am pretty excited right now because tomorrow morning I'm leaving to go on a week long motorcycle road trip across Atlantic Canada with my girlfriend Trish. You can see all the details of our trip at:

When most people travel they let their bodybuilding and fitness routine go to the wayside, end up skipping workouts, and eating junk.

But it doesn't have to be like this...

Now I admit that traveling does pose a bit of a challenge for sticking to your routine, but with a little planning ahead you can avoid the pitfalls and still make good progress.

In our case we have packed high protein meal replacements and protein bars. Protein supplements can be really helpful for keeping your protein intake high and filling in the nutritional gaps between meals when you are on the road.

We've also packed our gym clothes and sneakers so we'll be able to workout in the hotel gyms along our trip.

Simple planning like this will allow you to still make progress while you are traveling so that when you get back home you can pick up where you left off and set some new personal records in the gym, rather then having to make up for lost progress.

  3. Heya, slam2610 here from youtube/gmail. I've been watching your las vegas workouts, checking out your tips and I can proudly say that I made a 70kg barbell lift look like a lift with the bar just by utilizing your bench press tips! You are a great man, I hope I'll soon get some money to buy the "Blast Your Bench™" workout program. I wish you and your girlfriend a terrific trip which will be remembered for a lifetime.
