Travel Light, Travel Fit!

For the last year my wife and I have been traveling back and forth from Los Angeles to Mammoth Lakes every week. Toss in additional trips every other weekend on top of that and we’re talking about a lot of time on the road. Fortunately I’ve become conditioned to traveling light as a result of doing it so much in recent days and when I used to compete across the country on the AVP Tour.

Ever since the mid-90’s when I originally became certified as a fitness trainer, I’ve been interested in how I could maintain a fitness program based in regular exercise despite the high travel demands with my lifestyle. Since most hotel fitness centers tend to be inadequate for getting in a great whole-body workout, I was pleased to discover the TRX Suspension Trainer from Fitness Anywhere.

The TRX is a lightweight and highly portabe fitness tool that’s bodyweight-based and used by everyone from elite athletes like Drew Brees and LaDanian Tomlinson to competitors on the Biggest Loser. At less than 2 pounds, TRX folds into the size of a shoe and easily stores in an overnight bag or suitcase of any size. TRX was also just touted as the best new Total-Body Fitness Tool by Men’s Health Magazine.

Don’t worry that Suspension Training might be new to you, every TRX comes with an exercise guide and instructional DVD. Give it a try and then give it as a gift!…make sure you get the door anchor accessory so you can TRX at home or in your hotel room, wherever you are!
