The best way to stay in shape is to run with the bulls!
Aside from hours of walking, I like to do a bit of exercise while traveling, mainly to keep my muscles active so I won't be sore next time I do a heavy workout. So the idea of these workouts are not to build strength or speed, but rather maintain my progress from my workouts at home. While traveling, I have a small box of tricks I use to stay fit on the go. I own a TRX. I own a jump rope. Gravity is free. Check out the video below, and some sample workouts below that.

Row
Chest Press
Reverse lunges (per leg)
Crunches
Plank

1 min Dips or pushups
1 min squats or squat jumps

Extra Training
I also get a workout in with the types of poses I do in my photos. I often need to do several takes to get a good photo, so it's like doing reps at the gym. Flags, handstands, headstands, jumping, and pistol squats all make for great poses. (my gallery of handstands)Flagging in Bilbao, Spain |
Front lever in Palma de Mallorca, Spain |
Jumping in Bucharest, Romania |
Pistols in Volubis, Morocco |
Maybe the hardest headstand I've done - in Valencia, Spain |
The most common pose I do - a handstand (Grand Turk) |
