wakeupstokedSince I became a digital nomad I move places quite a lot – and even though I only travel every few months it is hard to establish healthy routines. Which is why I started looking for workouts I can do while traveling, without any equipment, anywhere and anytime. Also if I get a windless week at a kitespot it’s a good alternative to get your sweat on.

Do I really need no equipment at all?
These workouts are full body workouts you can do anywhere – at home, while traveling, no gym needed! All you need is you and for some exercises a mat or towel (but you could even do it on the hotel room floor if you want). You can wear workout shoes but I usually do it barefoot when I’m in a room.
Squeaky Floors 😉
On a side note: some workouts are more high intensity/high impact which means they’re not made for very squeaky wooden floors haha. So choose depending on the hotel/apartment you’re staying in (or grab some other travelers and do it outside on the grass), if you have a squeaky floor go more for the low impact, Pilates or Barre workouts.
Optional: mat and resistance bands
I travel with an eco-friendly yoga mat which I like to use for all the workouts since I’m usually doing them barefoot. It’s quite heavy with almost 1 kg but I love the cushioning and color (turquoise) and graphics.
For some workouts you can use resistance bands (which I can highly recommend, they’re the lightest fitness equipment ever and take up no space) but you can also easily do the workouts without them.
Optional: download workouts on your smartphone/tablet in youtube app for offline watching
Since I never know how the wifi will be at the destination when I arrive I usually download some workouts to watch offline (which you can easily do for free with the youtube app).
