Traveling With Work Out DVD Sets

Just because you are "on the go" and need to be away from your gym (or in this case, your home gym), there is no reason why you can't maintain your fitness. That is the beauty of carrying the ever-so-portable work out DVD sets around.

Staying at a hotel for a business trip? You would be sure to see a TV and DVD player in that hotel room. And, if there aren't any available, there is always your laptop (if it has a built-in DVD player)! Who says you need to have a 40-inch screen to get your exercise on?

That is what I love about these fitness discs. They are so light-weight and compact, there is no problem with carrying them in the small pocket of my luggage, or in a CD/DVD wallet. I can take the ones that require no weights (like cardio or yoga) and tackle them in the privacy of my own hotel room.

Personally, I take with me the Yoga X workout from P90X, Plyometric X, Cardio X...or just about any work out DVD from the Insanity program (since they are all about cardio). None of those work outs need any resistance bands, weights, or pull-up bars. It would make my luggage too heavy!

What if you are staying with a friend or some family members? Well, it would be a case by case basis on this one. Not sure if you would want to encroach on their hospitality if they are not usually inclined to anyone exercising in their living room.

However, if you are best friends and they equally as enthusiastic as you are about working out, then this would be a nice way to introduce them to your favorite fitness routine. Who knows? Perhaps they will end up doing the program, too!

I particularly enjoy taking the work out DVDs with me when I am on a business trip, because when I continue to be on a healthy mentality I will continue to eat healthy foods. I rarely want to pig out on junk food before or after a good work out.

I hope that you will agree when I say that it is very empowering yet freeing to be able to stay fit and healthy no matter where you are. This concept would take the power of being free from a brick and mortar gym to the next level.
