I travel around a bit and want to know what sort of stuff you guys do to keep fit away from the gym at home when you're out searching for pussy in an exotic country?
I am a fitness freak and would probably go crazy if I didn't exercise after a day or two...so on the road I try my best to hit the gym every few days..although not always a viable option.
The basics are skipping rope, a pair of running shoes and the beautiful outdoors.
I hear exercise bands are good and give a good workout - what are your experiences with these?
Do you have specific workout routines to keep you in shape?
Skipping rope is a great full body plyometric workout. Definitely bring a pair of ropes for the road. Calisthenic exercises that use your own body weight as resistance are always good (pushups, situps, etc). Depending on where you go, there are local gyms--college gyms are usually cheap or even free--and public parks or beaches with workout stations (pullup and dip bars), especially in Brazil.
Lots of ways to continue working out while on the road. Weightless squats in which you jump as you come up are a very good exercise as well.
