How do I stay fit without a gym? I used to ask myself this question all the time. I knew I wanted to craft a life travelling the world, exploring cultures and working as a digital nomad whilst doing so but I also knew I was scared to leave the vicinity of a gym. Fitness plays a huge part of my life, I’m addicted to it. I’m no athlete or body builder but I always put my health first and have a desire to look better and feel better through fitness. So a few years back I began exploring and learning the possibilities of exercising with a TRX. I have my fitness heroes. One being @nickcheadlefitness I’ve always looked at this chap in admiration. Not for his physique but for his scientific teachings, don’t get my wrong he looks bloody great too. I can hand on heart say I learnt more from Nick over the years reading his books and watching his videos than I learned studying up to my Level 3 PT course. Now constantly on the road without a gym and just my TRX I still incorporate those learnings - the fundamentals of fitness and nutrition specific to my goals. I count my calories and use flexible dieting to make sure the different worldly cuisines I gobble down fit. I plan my nutrition and compare foods on the GI index eating specific ones at the right times for the most beneficial advancements. I focus on form with slow controlled contraction technique and over-load principles. And I’m chuffed to say I do this living on the beaches, in the jungles, wherever my backpack takes me without the need of gym, just my TRX. A better physique, more flexibility, greater functional fitness… I wouldn’t say any of those are my number one #gainz. It’s been freedom. The freedom of ditching the weights and gym for a TRX in my own time and space. The freedom of not psychologically confining myself to the requirement of needing or relying on a gym. I’m not saying it’s for everyone but perhaps it could aid at times in certain situations. Maybe I should become a TRX nomad salesman?! One thing no one ever taught me - is how to flex 😅 #trx #trxworkout #trxtrainer #trxabs #functionalfitness #functionaltraining #nomad #traveller #travel #nogym #nogymnoproblem #transformationtuesday (at San Juan del Sur) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0q3v9thTIq/?igshid=v6o6tuub08mh
