    Stay fit, while traveling.

    Well I am traveling long-term, for work and i am staying in a resort with no fitness club facilities.
    How do i go about staying fit, while using the bare essential? Purchasing any equipment would be a so difficult, task because I have nowhere to put it and it would be a hassle to get rid, of when i have to leave.Any suggestions?

    I have the same professional lifestyle and this is what I have done. Since I go to multiple places I chose a gym chain that has locations where I travel. They are not everywhere I go but it works well.

    If you find a mom and pop fitness place, they are likely to strike you a pretty good deal. I found that some times I could get a week pass for ten bucks.

    Get yourself a pair of fitness bands. Bodylastics are pretty solid and well priced. Comes in a small backpack carring bag. Probably your best choice.

    I stay in hotels about five nights a month for work and was faced with the same problem. One of the guy on another forum recommended resistance bands. Found a company called bodylastics that looks like they make a good product, might buy one of there starter sets and give it a try.

    I travel a fair bit for work and occasionally end up in hotels that have no gym or crap gym facilities. Bodyweight workouts aren't so bad but I am a pretty small built guy and not trying to maintain a competitive lifting type body. Can often do a workout in a hotel room.

    Hindu Pushups
    Hindu squats or Prisoner squats
    Pistol squats if you can do them - I can't
    Tricep dips off a chair or a table
    Pushups with feet up on the table or bed
    Handstand pushups ( feet against the wall )
    Single leg deadlifts with anything that has some mass ( even my suitcase)
    Goblet squats with suitcase

    There are some great bodyweight workouts on the web.

    I will also use it as a time to do more cardio and go for a few more runs. The best case happens if I can run to a place that has a children's park ( wow that sounds creepy but wait ! ) - they often have bars where you can find a place to do dips and pullups. If they have a treadmill at the hotel - I often find I can use the handrails of the treadmill to do dips on.

    Diet-wise - I try to go as close to keto as I can while travelling - eggs and meat and some veggies for b'fast - and everyplace I go I order a salad with chicken or steak or salmon.
