Travel Equipment

Resistance bands, or tubing, have been popular with physical therapist for years, as they offer a safe way to challenge muscles. Lengths of tubing come in various resistance levels, weigh almost nothing and take up virtually no space. When combined with a simple door anchor, bands make available a wide variety of exercise options. At home as well, they represent a handy substitute for bulky, more expensive forms of resistance equipment.
An exercise mat is a must-have. Put it between you and any hotel room floor. Inexpensive rubber mats can fit nicely folded into a traveling bag. It can be used to do push-ups on a sandy surface or core movements on an unpadded floor. A good mat will also provide solid traction and footing for many simple floor type exercises. A sunny day spent walking around any big city is a plethora of sights, sounds and beautiful experiences. Without a specific destination, you can lace up our walking shoes and comb the town on foot, thoroughly enjoying the sights and sounds of the bustling city, all the while burning lost of calories.
