Even if you’ve recently designed the perfect weekly fitness routine that works for you or you just added a shiny new piece of equipment to your home gym, one thing’s for sure: Nothing can derail a workout routine — and your motivation levels — like travel. And when Peloton Strength and Bike Bootcamp instructor Callie Gullickson is vacationing in Italy or heading back to Florida to see family, she follows one golden rule for staying active.
Outside of movement, Gullickson relies on getting enough sleep, journaling, and staying well-hydrated to feel her best when she’s not at home. Peloton’s in-app sleep meditations, in particular, earn rave reviews from Gullickson. “I love a five-minute morning meditation, or I fall asleep so easily to the sleep meditations — they’re so incredible,” she says. “You wake up in the middle of the night and you’re like, ‘Wait, what happened? Is my phone still on?'”
While Gullickson has found a way to balance movement and rest that works for her, it's important to honor what your body needs during travel. And if that includes accidentally sleeping for 10 hours straight in a cozy, quiet hotel room, you do you.
