Easy Exercises to do While Traveling

 Plane trips usually entail a lot of sitting at the airport. You can try something different and stay active while you are waiting to board your plane. Don’t be afraid to walk the terminal and even bring your luggage. The extra weight adds to your caloric expenditure and helps utilize more muscles while you move around. Sitting on the plane can feel like a nice little treat if you earned it.

As for bringing equipment with you on your trip, Dominy recommends exercise bands. The band combined with your own body weight can be the perfect combination for an excellent workout and it does not matter where you are. The bands roll up easily and don’t take up much room at all in your suitcase. Exercise bands are available in a variety of different tensions, relevant to strength levels. Some exercises you can try with exercise bands are bicep curls, tricep press-backs, squats, stationary lunges, side bends, and that is just to name a few. It is great to mix these exercises with some cardio like jumping jacks or running in place. Add some abdominal work and stretches and you have yourself a whole workout routine.
