Travel Workouts for the Car and Airplane

Are your frequent travels cutting into your time at the gym? You can make the most of your time on the plane or in the car with some simple stretches and workouts. These travel workouts will engage different muscle groups and keep you moving so you don’t feel stiff or uncomfortable when sitting during those long trips.

Car Workout

Whether you’re the driver or a passenger, road trips can be long and boring. Shake things up a bit (literally) with some movement! If you’re the driver, keep good posture and try these movements to prevent stiffness. They can also keep you awake while driving. Make sure you’re always paying attention to the road. Safety is the #1 priority.

Passengers in the front or back seat have a little bit more freedom. There’s a wide variety of movements and stretches they can do to work out their legs, arms, and abs while on long road trips. You can even do them as a family and make a game out of it!

Airplane Workout

Sitting in a confined space on an airplane can leave you stiff, sore, achy, and overall uncomfortable. Try these simple movements and stretches to relieve some of that stiffness and engage some of your muscles during those long flights. You can even burn a few calories!
