Key Takeaways:
Proper Planning is Essential
Jami and Greg highlight the “Seven P’s” mantra: Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Whether it’s researching the local gym situation or packing quick meals, a little prep goes a long way toward maintaining your fitness routine while traveling.Be Aware of Your Surroundings
It’s not just about preparation but also awareness. Familiarize yourself with local restaurants, grocery options, and exercise facilities to help you make healthier choices on the go. This flexibility allows you to adapt quickly if plans change.Pack Emergency Snacks
Bringing your own snacks, like almonds or protein bars, can save you in a pinch. Jami suggests always having “in case of emergency” meals to avoid being stuck without options or forced to choose unhealthy airport food.Adapt and Get Creative
Staying active doesn’t have to mean hitting a full gym. You can pack resistance bands, use hotel stairs for cardio, or even get a quick workout in a nearby park. The key is to be resourceful and adapt your workout to what’s available.Balance Indulgence with Intuition
It’s okay to indulge now and then, but try to do so mindfully. Jami and Greg recommend being intuitive with your eating—enjoying the local cuisine while paying attention to when you feel satisfied rather than overstuffed. This approach keeps you aligned with your goals without missing out on the experience.
