Working out abroad...

So, I'm on a 4 month trip around the World visiting Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Hawaii, Arizona, Los Angeles, San Fransisco and New York.

Lots of people say that while they're on holiday or travelling they OBVIOUSLY won't be working out and would find it hard to find somewhere to exercise in another country. Here's me proving them wrong with a few updates of my global workout... :-) (the better stuff anyway!)...

So I'm home now. Looking back at the bove, I think this serves as a good example that, if you're determined enough, working out while travelling for work or vacation, isn't impossible. These are just SOME of the workouts that I managed and managed to film. At times it took a littl lateral thinking, "Training to my surroundings" and a little online research or asking locals for a nearby gym; but, it wasn't impossible.

Remember, healthy living is a lifestyle and not just a hobby. Next time YOU go away, make sure you pack some gym kit!
