Do you have a back that won’t stop giving you trouble? Do you travel for business? Do you WANT to travel but feel restricted by chronic pain and mobility? Are you worried that if you leave your weekly routine your body will pay the price?

In this day and age, people are travelling more than ever. Business travel has become a norm in the corporate world and often times leaves the employee sleep deprived, under-exercised and without a great nutritional routine. Big businesses offer their workers immunizations, security alerts, per diems for meals but what about EXERCISE? The schedule endured by these humans gives little, if no time, for movement. Yes, most hotels will have a gym but we know what those are like. Lonely, stinky, old equipment, under-used and/or cared for and the worst lighting imaginable. So, unless you travel to the tropics for your work, this is the usual scenario.

What if you still had to be accountable to someone who cared about your body, mind and spirit even when you’re on the go? IT IS POSSIBLE! I am not talking about YouTube videos or any pre-recorded content. I am talking about an ACTUAL HUMAN giving you exactly what you need that day, accessing your personal situation and offering what your body needs specifically at that moment to feel good.

As an avid traveller, a busy mom and business owner, I have found that Live online fitness has been a godsend. Not only does it give me the consistency no matter what is happening in my life but also accountability. I have too often said ” I am going to do a video later” and NEVER made it happen. “I just have too much to do!” This is the excuse I use to avoid the self-care I desperately need in lieu of “priorities”. So now, when someone is expecting me at a certain time I am committed. I am confident that I will make my session because I have no commute, parking and MORE TIME. I can communicate my needs BEFORE the session through email and have my trainer well informed on what is happening with me and my body.

What if you’re also travelling with chronic pain? What if the same issues keep coming up during travel but you feel like there is no one to turn to until you get home and make an appointment with your preferred practitioner. THERE IS A SOLUTION. The opportunity to work with well-educated, high-quality instructors is not limited to the studio anymore. There is a great selection of amazing trainers available virtually that can keep track of your progress and needs as you travel the world. Some of my clients are dealing with MAJOR body issues and are relieved (literally) that there is someone available to help them through more difficult times. A long airport delay, a longer than intended business dinner, a suitcase that fell and you were quick to retrieve but now your back won’t allow for much walking… all can be addressed quickly with this online option.

If you are a business traveller with chronic pain or are in need of a skilled trainer to help maintain a strong movement practice while on the go you should give online fitness a try. No equipment is necessary and a better feeling body leads to a more productive and happy person. “When exercise is a part of your lifestyle it will influence all other parts of your life”.
