#8 Two PTs Walk into a Garage - Travel Edition
Week 8 was done on the road – 2 PTs Fly to San Diego!
Traveling can mess up our routines and make it hard to get our workouts or even daily purposeful movements done. I always feel sluggish on vacations even if I am out sightseeing so I make a point to do purposeful movements at least every other day.
We traveled to visit family and did have the availability of an entire CrossFit box and materials at our disposal but decided to exercise with materials that you can bring with you on any trip. We brought 3 small loop bands with us that take about 2 inches of space in our luggage. Totally worth it!

Thank you to Outlier Athletics for your parking lot space.
The exercises were easily modified for my mom if her knees, wrists, or shoulders were more bothersome. When you watch the video, you can see the differences in how we each complete the exercise.
Reminder – the fancy equipment isn’t needed and can be replaced by anything you have around the house.
