How I Manage To Stay in Shape While Filming Races Around The World

Well, I'll have you know that it's no simple task, and I can't tell you that I stay committed everyday, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I can share with you.

When I travel from race to race, and from country to country, it can get very exciting, but it can also be a bit stressful to my mind, body, and spirit.

EASY EXCUSES

It was so easy for me to say things like:

-  I'm traveling today, so I'll just make this a rest day
-  There isn't enough room in the place that I'm staying so I won't workout today
-  I traveled all day yesterday so I need to catch up on some work
-  I can't find a gym nearby, and I don't want to spend money for an uber/taxi/bus etc to get to one
-  I'm sore today, so I'll just lay in bed

REAL LIFE RIGHT HERE

I'm sure that I'm not the only one making excuses, but yes, its tough but the one thing that I've learned is that if I want to be happy and healthy, and want to be able to mark things off my growing bucket list, that I won't be able to do that if I am fat, sick, and unhealthy. So what do I do? I force myself to get uncomfortable. Is it easy? HECK NO!

MY SECRETS

Let me be upfront with you. There are no fitness secrets out there. It's all about hard work and dedication, and something that most people don't event think about.....finding people who think like you. Yeah, I know...it can be tough to find people to workout with you while you're traveling, but it's not impossible. The first thing to do is just ask people. Huh? Yeah, most people just assume that when people travel, all they want to do is drink, party, and sleep....but I know better because I've met so many people who think the opposite, and all I did was ask.

IT'S ABOUT THE SMALL THINGS

Here are some things that I do to keep me in shape while I travel the world filming races for my cause-related media project:


1.  I take the stairs everywhere that I go, and never the elevator, escalator, or anything that would give me an advantage. Now if I'm at the airport and I'm about to miss a flight, I will get on that fast track thing, but I'm hustling and either running or fast walking, not just standing on the right side watching people walk on the left of me.

2.  When I'm on an airplane or any mode of transportation, I tend to do a lot of calf stretches because my calves can get pretty tight while traveling. So I'll simply straighten my legs (one at a time) as much as I can (benefits of being short I guess), and just rotate my feet, point them up and down, etc. This keeps me moving and my calves loose so they won't swell.

3.  When I have long layovers, I will literally find a small area and do either a short stretch or full body strength and conditioning workout. Sometimes I will pay money to go to the lounge so I can get more privacy, but these people don't know you, and you'll probably never see them again. Plus, you may find someone to workout with you. I've done a quick T25 workout from Beachbody on Demand, and it always just makes me feel good...25 minutes and I'm done.

4.  Lot's of times I stay at hostels and camp sites. At hostels, there isn't a lot of room especially if you are in a dorm room. So I basically try to look for a nearby gym and ask for a free trial pass, or even find a nearby fancy hotel and pay for a day pass and go to town on my P90X workouts. Working out at camp sites are very easy, there is a lot of space to run and do a lot of body weight resistance workouts. I sometimes will bring resistance bands or my TRX, it all depends if I'm traveling domestic or international. I only travel with one small carry on which can also pass for a personal item. I travel light with only my camera equipment, and a few clothes. Toiletries can always be bought anywhere, so I don't even pack that stuff. I film a lot of races, and just use those free race shirts while I travel, and i'll leave them behind if I feel that it is too much to carry in my pack when going back home. I never pay for check in baggage, NEVER...that's how light I travel =).

5.  Staying at Airbnb's and hotels are definitely easier and I can never make an excuse to not workout because I have my own room. Unfortunately, because I travel 7 months out of the year, staying at Airbnb's and Hotels are like a luxury to me, it doesn't happen all the time. I will mostly do an Insanity or P90X workout, or simple run on the treadmill. I love it when the hotels have their own gyms, it makes it easier to workout, which I prefer Body Beast workouts at the gym. I do love doing my workouts outdoors, but when I've been outdoors filming races all weekend, sometimes I'd rather just stay indoors.

6.  When I travel and stay at places for a long period of time, I tend to explore and find out where the best outdoor parks are. Some of these parks have great running trails with fitness equipment along the running path. I've found other parks to have some amazing outdoor gyms for as low as $1. Being outdoors is definitely what I love the most, so I will always prefer an outdoor park over an indoor gym any day.

7.  You'll be surprised of how many free group fitness classes are out there. I will simply google free workouts and find all kinds of free group fitness classes to attend. Most of these are donation based but it's always worth it. Get a better workout and run to the class instead of using public transportation.

8. When I am out sightseeing or exploring, I try do everything myself instead of using a tour guide or tour company. For one, you save a lot more money, and you will see a lot more because you will be on your own time, and not the time set by the company. Now because you will not book through a company, you may have to look for your own transportation, you may get lost, and you might have to hike longer etc. But if you want to see things off the beaten path, and get fit at the same time, then DIY travel should be on the top of your list.  I normally choose tours or activities that keep me active such as Volcano Hikes, Walking Tours, Bike Tours, and Surf Trips etc.

9.  Lastly, if I cannot workout for some reason, or I am literally just being lazy, the least I can do is make sure that I am eating super healthy that day. I mean it's always a good idea to eat healthy all the time, but I'll admit, when I travel...I enjoy eating the local foods and an occasional beer or wine. It's ok to live your life, but remember...you only have one life and one body, so take care of it and moderate the junk foods.

10.  I lied. One last thing. I am part of of an online community of people who I coach. Now even though I coach these people with their health and fitness, it doesn't mean that I am anywhere near perfect. My online community inspires me, motivates me, and keeps me accountable while I travel. They are a constant reminder of why I decided to become healthy and fit in the first place. They remind me that coaches aren't perfect and we need help too. It's so important to find the right people to surround yourself with, and an online accountability community at your finger tips will do the trick, that is if you make it a priority. It's like having you're own personal gym and motivators (cheer squad) everywhere you go. If you need to be a part of one, ask to join my group, it's always free =)

AND THAT'S ABOUT IT

Traveling and getting fit is only difficult if you make it difficult. If you use my tips above as a guideline, it will help your travels be a lot more enjoyable, and you won't miss out on a lot of EPICNESS because you were too out of shape to make it up the mountain.


Safe travels, and I hope to see you somewhere around the world.

Calculate Your Daily Caloric Needs - Harris Benedict Equation

Calculate your Daily Caloric Needs, Harris Benedict Equation, Free Challenge Group, Free Fitness Challenge, Beachbody Challenge, Beachbody on Demand, Free Beachbody Coach, Filipino Beachbody Coach
Harris Benedict Equation

Ever wonder why you are not losing weight, gaining enough mass, or don't have enough energy? It's most likely because you are not fueling your body with the correct amount of calories that your body needs. Now of course there are many factors that may come to play when discussing this topic, this is just an alternative option to help you pin point what may be the root cause of your inability to reach your health and fitness goals. Feel free to give the Harris Benedict Equation below a try, and as with anything, always listen to your body and adjust as needed.  

Harris Benedict Equation, which is what is employed by the INSANITY NUTRITION GUIDE.

STEP ONE:
FOR WOMEN, this equation is: 655 +(4.35 x weight)+(4.7 x height in inches)-(4.7 x age)

FOR MEN, this equation is:  66+(6.23 x weight)+(12.7 x height in inches)-(6.8 x age)

This formula determines your basal energy requirements, which is the energy required to maintain your current weight WITHOUT exercise. After completing this step, you'll add in your exercise level below:



STEP TWO: 
Take your number from above and multiply by the level of exercise listed below.
1.2 Sedentary Little to No Exercise
1.375 Lightly Active Light Exercise (1 to 3 days/week)
1.55 Moderately Active Moderate Exercise (3 to 5 days/week)
1.7 Very Active Hard Exercise (6 to 7 days/week)
1.9 Extremely Active Hard Daily Exercise and/or physical job

STEP THREE:
The number that you now have will tell you your calorie needs for weight maintenance, In step 3, you'll adjust this number up or down, depending on your weight loss or gain goals.

See below:
For weight loss, subtract 500 calories per day from your number in step 2.
For weight maintenance, do nothing, just use the number from step 2.
- For weight gain, add 250-300 calories per day to your number from step 2.

Four Holiday Fitness Myths

4 Holiday Fitness Myths - Holiday Fitness Tips - Holiday Fitness Facts - Holiday Online Fitness Challenge - Beachbody Challenge
Four Holiday Fitness Myths - Fitness Tips

Other than the Full-Day Netflix Movie Marathons, pumpkin pie, and the SWEET potato casseroles, the greatest obstacles are not really the obvious. According to a Sports Dietitian at eNRG Performance, Rebecca Rick, it's really all about our own misconceptions. Here are four of the most common ones, and four easy solutions to help you finish strong and start the New Year with a BANG!

MYTH: Americans gain an average of 5 pounds between Thanksgiving and the New Year.
FACT: Most people don't even gain their plumpness during the holidays. The average weight gain is about 1.7 pounds according to a study by the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
YOUR MOVE: Don't obsess about what you eat, but definitely be strategic about it. If you overindulge during dinner, don't repeat the same thing for dessert. If you're attending a holiday party, bring a healthy dish, at least you know that you will have at least one healthy option.

MYTH: You're too busy to workout.
FACT: You're not, especially during the holidays. Yes, the high calories that you eat can make you feel a little sluggish, and the cold weather can make some outdoor workouts brutal, but if you're cashing in on vacation days and time off, then more than likely you have more time to sneak in a workout.
YOUR MOVE: Get creative! Look at the extra free time that you might have and take advantage of that opportunity. Get your family involved, and ask them to keep you accountable. Bundle up and do some holiday walking tours. Look for some free workouts or online challenges, there are plenty of gyms, personal trainers, and online coaches who are trying to gear up for the new year and host introductory classes and challenges to keep you on point during the holidays.

MYTH: You're already fit, so you're less likely to plump up.
FACT: For those of you who are already fit and healthy, then you know that maintaining fitness can be as much as a challenge as going through a weight loss journey. Being fit does not shield you from overindulging in sweets and big portions during the holidays. If you plan to kick up your eating spree, then it's pretty simple, you will need to kick up your workouts. More reps, more weight, longer workouts, runs, walks etc.
YOUR MOVE: Relax, but stay focused. You don't really have to do the same workouts that you normally do. You can do other workouts with increased intensity, or with longer duration. Most people who are fit understand that fitness is a lifestyle, so just moderate the holiday binging and plan to hit the workouts strong afterwards. Also, help others who are struggling during the holidays, because it will help you understand why you have committed to being healthy and fit in the first place, and believe it or not, people are truly inspired by that.

MYTH: Whatever weight you gain, you'll lose it in the New Year.
FACT: Odds are that you won't. Although the majority only gain a pound or two during the holidays, most of them never lose it, in fact, most of them continue their holiday bad habits. Most people never really follow through with their resolutions, and according to a study done at Cornell University, people tend to buy more calories from January to March. Yes, they buy healthy foods, but more than anything, they continue to also buy their unhealthy foods as well.
YOUR MOVE: Treat grocery shopping like vacation packing: make a list and stay disciplined. If it's not on the list, don't buy it! Keep your healthy grocery lists on your phone for future reference. If you join a gym or start an online fitness challenge with your friends, make sure that you set goals together. Find a Coach who is not just in it for your wallet, find a Coach who really cares about your well-being. When you surround yourself with positive and like-minded people who are going on the same path as you, it will help you transition into a better lifestyle.

Anyways, hope this posts helps you, and if you need some extra motivation and a good kick-start to a new beginning of health and fitness, feel free to connect with me, I'll be happy to help you =).
