On the road

Okay, maybe not again, but I do love that song! I have spent my day stressing about whether or not I packed enough, or too much…or if I forgot something. I hate that feeling. And you never know what it is that you “forgot” until you need it. I am a list maker, normally, but this trip was rather sudden, so the only list that I managed to make was one for my workout gear and snacks. Go figure. I blogged about my snacks earlier this week (read it here), so I thought that I should probably share what I packed for working out, since I’ve become a sort-of home gym “rat”. The first thing that I grabbed was my Bally 3lb. Pearlized Weighted Ball. I can use it to tone most of the muscles, if not all of them. I adore my ball, especially for adding a bit of a challenge to ab work! It’s also great for thigh work if you do any of the barre workouts…especially if you’re trying to target those pesky inner thigh muscles! I actually got the idea from the NEW Pure Barre workout, which I’ll be reviewing after my trip…so stay tuned (there’s also a FREE giveaway for BOTH BRAND NEW Pure Barre workouts coming later this summer…become my Facebook fan for more info here!) Then, I packed my Pilate Exercises Resistance Bands. I love that they’re labeled “light, medium & heavy”. It helps to make sure that I’m getting the proper resistance. I love doing chest and back fly with these. AND they fold FLAT!! Perfect for a suitcase! I am also bringing my Polar F6 Women’s Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Green Tea) and running gear. I don’t want to leave ANYTHING to chance! I think that I’m prepared for whatever may come my way, and I know that I will be more motivated to workout with some of my favorite toys! What do you normally bring with you when you travel to help you stay on track?
