It’s hard enough to stick with a workout routine when you’re pounding it out from the comforts of your home town. However, it’s even more difficult to keep to a workout routine when you have to travel. However, there are some very good and compact items which can easily fit in your travel luggage and can be used to keep you fit while traveling. A good attitude to keep through the any travel experience is one of maintaining your physique, which is a great accomplishment over losing fitness ground.

With the following compact exercise equipment, you can easily maintain your hard earned mass even if you can’t make it regularly to the gym due to travel.

Stomach Trimmer

A waist sweatband is an all around good item to carry when traveling. Regardless of what exercises you choose to do, a stomach trimmer will help you keep the midsection slim and trim by causing it to sweat, thereby burning more calories.

Resistance Bands

Resistance bands, or fitness tubes, are excellent items to use while traveling. Most types come with an instruction sheet that offer various exercise suggestions, with a door anchor so you can work out in practically any room and with ankle straps so both lower and upper body can be targeted.

Jump Rope

A jump rope is another wonderful fitness item that will easily fit in your travel bag and which can be used practically anywhere you go. The National Health Institute says that approximately 750 calories can be burned per hour by jumping rope. That’s a good amount of travel food which can be easily eliminated while on the go!

Water-Filled Dumbbells

Here’s another smart travel exercise investment that gives you instant access to exercise dumbbells. Simply fill these rubber dumbbells with water and you’re ready. Another great quality of water-filled dumbbells is that you can regulate the weight by adjusting the amount of water you fill them with.

Ankle Weights for Swimming

This is another super travel idea since a good portion of time is usually spent splashing about a swimming pool, lake, or ocean. Strap these to your ankles, jump in and enjoy your swimming vacation while getting great strength training and cardio benefits.

As you can see, there are a variety of products that will easily fit in your suitcase and that can be used in very limited space while traveling. There’s no excuse for not maintaining your physique while moving about, whether it’s for the holidays, a business trip, or a well deserved vacation. What are you waiting for? Pack your bags!
