Keeping on Track, even whilst travelling.

This weekend was one of recovery, despite a quick arm circuit on Saturday morning, which for a change I decided to do fasted. I was in and out in under 30 minutes with some MyProteins BCCA pre and during I had a great workout. I felt great both during and post workout, mind you, when don't you training arms. For me its just that muscle group I always love to train. 

This weeks training is back to Week A, which is my heavy week. Focus on the compound exercises along with more isolated exercises to finish off the muscle group. The three weeks following I’m away for work so am going to get very little training in, however, i am determined to still keep my nutrition on track. Little tips for this:

1. Buy a SmartShaker!!!! When you're out and about and in need of a quick shake or even a snack then you can just pack your smart shaker with you. With all the little containers which you attach to the shaker you can take anything with you. Plus it saves taking extra containers around with you, meaning you don't need such a big bag. The ideal world.
2. Buy a George Foreman Grill!! No matter where you are staying there will always be a supermarket close by which means you can grab pre cut chicken, a bag of salad and some microwave rice (the healthy kind). Cook the chicken fresh on the Grill and there you have it, a great macro based meal. This means you can prep your meals even if you're away, staying on track to your goal. 
3. Protein Bars/Cookies. Now in my eyes these should never replace real food. But they can be used as a high protein snack if you're really lacking some in the day. The ones that I would recommend are MyProteins HighPro Bars or their Cookies. Both a high in protein, low in sugar, great tasting and really not as expensive as other brands. Definitely a brand I always highly recommend to clients. 
4. Lastly CONSISTENCY. Just because you're out of your normal environment it doesn't mean you can binge on food and forget about it or have cheat meals that turn into cheat days. Stay on track!! Yes by all means have the occasional cheat or not so healthy meal but try to stay on track. Good things come to those who wait and through time this consistency will give you the reward you've always wanted.

So any of you who travel a lot for work, just follow the few steps above and you'll stay on track. Have a great week of training!!!
