3 Things to Bring On Your Summer RoadTrip

By Body1 min read

Who doesn’t love a great road trip? As I get ready to embark on mine here are some essentials I’ll be packing.

1) Rubber Tubing – Kbands TrainingLike the K Bands in this picture. This little workout staple can create a workout anywhere and takes a smidgen of your packing space.

Have a little more room and some tree branches (or other heavy duty hangers) check out the TRX – a strap system that lets you create an intense strength training workout with your own body weight. I own a set and love’em – Fitness Anywhere

2) Good Snacks – try and aim for a solid mix of protein, carbs, and fats in the most nutrient dense foods you can. Fruit, raw veggies, beef jerky, cheese sticks can all help you stay properly fueled up. Try and skip on the processed fast foods if you can. Check out an earlier blog posting for more vacation snack ideas.

3) Good Shoes – I know its summer time and I, too have trouble finding my socks…but if you are planning to stay on workout track make sure to pack your shoes. Who knows giving up some space may be the commitment you need to stay moving.
