What to Pack to Get a Great Workout When You Travel

Travelling can throw your workout routine out the window if you let it. But staying fit on the go is easier than you think. Pack smart, plan ahead and you will always have what you need for a good sweat.

Here is what to pack for a great workout when you travel.

Trainers

The most important bit of kit. With the right trainers you can run outside, hit the hotel gym or squeeze in a HIIT session in your room. Pack your trainers in a La Pochette Shoe Bag. It is antimicrobial and deodorising so your suitcase stays fresh no matter where your adventure takes you.

Resistance Bands

Lightweight and takes up minimal space, but works your body hard. Choose between either light, medium or heavy or take all threeso you can switch up the challenge. Loop one around your legs for squats, lunges or pilates moves. It is a go-to for lower body workouts and easy to pack.

Pilates Ball

Deflates flat in your bag but adds serious challenge to core work and balance exercises. Great for online barre or pilates classes in your hotel room.

Workout Mat

A La Pochette workout mat is lightweight and folds down small so it fits easily in your suitcase. It gives you your own clean space for stretches, yoga flows or strength work wherever you land.

Skipping Rope

A skipping ropeturns any corner into cardio. Just a few minutes gets your heart rate up. Perfect for a quick blast when you have no time for the gym.

Swimsuit

Never forget your swimsuit. Swimming is one of the best full-body workouts you can do when travelling. Pack a La Pochette Wet Bag too so you can keep your wet swimwear separate from the rest of your kit.

A Small Kit, Endless Options

With these essentials you can join any online class you fancy. Barre, pilates, HIIT or a simple stretch session. They all need little space and give you a great workout wherever you are.

One last tip: pack your clean workout kit in a La Pochette Sweat Bag or Kit Bag. After your session, pop in your used kit. It keeps your bag fresh, clean and free from unwanted odours.

At La Pochette we believe travel should never break your wellness routine. Pack smart, move well and get the best out of every trip.
