TRAVEL GUIDE INTRODUCTION
As an international fitness model, physique coach, and entrepreneur I understand
better than most the challenges and limitations of travelling and staying on plan. I
have travelled worldwide and faced the same constraints many of you have faced. I
lives this life and apply the principles from this e-book to myself.
I have travelled extensively whilst prepping for a photoshoot and getting in arguably
my best condition to date. This guide has been developed through research and
experience to give you the tools to understand the fundamentals of what is required,
the aspects that need addressed prior to travel and during travel.
I understand the areas that those who travel frequently contend with, such as sleep,
nutrition, and training, and although not exhaustive these three make up the base
of a hierarchical system. This guide was developed by me to mitigate the problems
associated with travel and staying on track.
We can control many variables when we travel, and this e-book will show you how.

PLAN YOUR TRIP
You need to know the following details before you travel:
All of these factors can have an impact on how you feel when you arrive at your destination.
If you are travelling to a destination that is in a different time zone to where you currently are,
then jet lag and sleep deprivation can become a huge factor. The body uses the Circadian
Rhythm as a guideline for lots of different processes and adaptations like sleep, digestion,
hormone regulation and more. If this rhythm goes out of sync, so do these systems within the
body. With this in mind there are a number of techniques you can use to help the body adapt
to your new time zone…
START EARLY
Start changing your sleep pattern a week in advance of your journey – so start staying up
slightly later every night or going to bed earlier based upon which time zone you are travelling
to.
ACCEPT IT!!
Accept that you will be tired for the first few days as your body adapts. By thinking ahead
and realising that you will likely be tired for the first few days, this avoids any undue stress.
EXERCISE
Exercise when you normally would within your routine. This is another factor that the body
uses to help recognise and adapt circadian rhythm and the hormonal processes around it.

PLAN YOUR TRIP
When travelling it is common to sit in one
place for long periods at a time.
ACCOMODATION FACILITIES
Is there a gym in your hotel? If not, is there one nearby that you can potentially use for the
duration of your stay? If neither are readily available, why not try the Home Workout Guide.
FOOD AVAILABILITY
Does your accommodation include breakfast, if so, what kind? If not, what are your plans for
the first meal of the day? Can you request a fridge and microwave in your room and maybe
some cutlery? Or take some disposable cutlery with you. Is there a supermarket nearby where
you can get some supplies?
WALK
Walk, run or cycle when safe to do so, multiple times if possible. Whatever form of exercise you
choose will be good for your head and body.

FOOD CHOICES
When travelling to foreign countries and with so many changes going on in the body, it is
common for the digestive system to suffer and can take a few days to adapt and settle. Air
travel is notorious for causing bloating and swelling due to pressure changes in the cabin.
Recirculated air on aircraft can quickly dehydrate the body it is important to remember to
stay hydrated. These are some points to consider regarding nutrition while on the move:
NO BOOZE
Despite claims that alcohol can help you sleep, in contrast, while it may initially make
you sleepy…it actually disrupts your overall sleep pattern and can stop the body from
going into the more restorative stages of sleep. Alcohol is also a diuretic and can cause further
dehydration.
CONSIDER FASTING
Intermittent fasting can be a great way to both limit calories and allow your gut to adapt to new
conditions. By restricting calorie intake to later in the day it is possible to give the gut a break during
the first half of the day. Fasting can sometimes help with cognitive performance as well, so this could
be a technique worth experimenting with.
AVOID CARBS
Where possible stick to proteins and fats as a food source. They tend not to bloat the stomach out
as much and are a more stable energy source. Try and choose bacon and eggs over a croissant or
chicken and avocado salad over a sandwich at least around the time of and during your flight.
REMEMBER VEGGIES
Don’t forget to keep eating veggies while you are away. With restaurant and circuit foods it
can be easy to forget to eat enough veggies. With essential fibre and micronutrient content it is
important not to forget them.
MEAL PREP
It is possible to take meal prep bags and meals onto aircraft. If you are really serious about hitting
your goals, consider prepping your meals at least for your journey and maybe the first day at your
destination. This will help you avoid making compromises to your nutrition choices. Consider food
facilities at the circuit, a greasy burger and fries may taste delicious, but it won’t serve you well when
you are fighting for the lead of the race!
By implementing some or all of these tips and tricks, it will be possible to minimise the
negative effects of travel and be one step ahead of the competition when it really matters.

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Home Workout Guide. This guide is designed to be used if you have limited
access to a gym or if you are travelling and still want to progress towards your fitness,
strength and endurance goals. It is important to stay active while travelling to help your body
adapt to the effects of travelling i.e. jet lag etc.
There are a number of workouts for you to follow, try to do a different one each day until
you have completed all of the workouts then repeat. Add rest days in as you feel applicable.
Make sure you warm up before starting each workout to reduce the risk of injury – I have
provided an example warm up program for you to follow. I would also recommend some light
stretching to further avoid injury. The workouts can be done with no equipment, but they are
much more effective with the use of resistance bands which are cost effective and easy to
carry with you at all times.
