Preparing for Extended Travel

Travel does not have to mess up our training schedules. Especially nowadays when the world has 5,000 CF boxes and fortunately many hotels now have an amazing array of functional equipment, like Olympic bars, kettlebells, pull-up bars. I’m working on compiling a list of hotels with functional fitness oriented hotel stuff from the Marriott Marquis, through China World to Hilton CDG or Club Med Paris. The minimum IQ test for admission is a barbell, pull-up bar and enough space in-between the useless machines for gymnastics and double unders…

For my UK/Asia trip I connected with CF gyms in all the cities I’m visiting. Some places do not have a box yet, but I found some gym owners who love CrossFit and have all the necessary equipment and are happy to see me drop those barbells… A little planning goes a very long way when it comes to beating the lazy virus… And those excuses that come with it…
