I am on notice period with Tata Consultancy with 2 months remaining with an offer in hand where the joining date is just after notice period ends. Now, I got early release from current company and thus, I saved 2 months. But I want to use these 2 months for travelling, upskilling and looking for better offers instead of contacting the new company for early joining. So, if I join the new company after 2 months will this be considered as a 'gap' in my profile in the future and will it be harmful?

Orangetheory 4x a week. I’ve done other things before, triathlon training, swimming, road biking, weight lifting, general cardio bunny stuff. I like OTF the most for the community and accountability with my coaches, as well as a brand new workout every single day, motivating challenges/contests, tracking my progress at the benchmark workouts. I discovered a passion for rowing there! The structure is worth the price tag to me
I do OT also. Added bonus, you can go to any gym in the country. I travel a lot around the US and I haven’t been in a city yet that doesn’t have one. Often they are even walking distance from my hotel if I’m in a downtown area
Fad. If you can get yourself to do some high intensity workouts by yourself, you'd save a bunch of cash.
Fad. Tons of great online resources (Kayla Itsines, bodybuilding.com) that have weekly programs that are even doable on the go / in hotel gyms.
I try to do 3 days of light cardio a week, along with 3 days of strength training. Neither type takes more than 45 minutes, and all doable in the most basic of gyms
I love the Fitplan app! You have access to so many different plans constantly
I do Barre twice a week and have gotten much stronger. Jog 2x a week b/c I don’t know what else to do at the hotel gym. Going to take some of these recs!
It depends on what works for you! I do paid classes because I work harder for other people than myself (as sad as that sounds!).
I second this! I do do Kayla Instine’s when travelling, but will always try to get to a class when I can as I put far more effort in & love the experience.
Try ClassPass if you want to mix up some classes more & cut costs a bit.. I like the variety between a Barry’s format / Spin / Reformer Pilates / Yoga
I aim for twice a day, morning is 1 mi run on treadmill plus 30 min of weights/abs, takes about 40 ish min. Evening is just cardio (run on treadmill or outside depending on location). It sucks to wake up early but it’s so worth it since I feel much more awake during work day and then I don’t feel guilty in case I have to skip night (late work, team goes straight to dinner).
C5 lol! I do have to add extra time or do less morning gym routine if it’s hair wash day. So I wash Sunday night, then don’t wash again until Wed. I pack dry shampoo for the in between and straighten with flat iron, put it up in pony tail (with pinned top for volume), or do a sock bun (super quick and looks really professional). If I sweat a lot like running outside I’ll adjust hair wash schedule. I also lay out my gym and work clothes night before so I’m not wasting time in morning.
20 min cardio + 30 min lifting 4-5 days a week when I’m actively trying to drop weight or 2-3 days when I want to maintain.
I rotate : shoulders + chest ; arms + upper back ; legs + lower back
Yes Barry’s is kind of a fad. Like soul cycle!
I do mostly black fire or undefeated program workouts from the daily burn website (12.95/mo). They are 30 min HIIT workouts I do in the morning while traveling and mostly use body weight so I can do it in my hotel room.
No bands. Some use a box which I substitute for a turned over trash can in the room or take the pillows off the couch or use the edge of a bed frame for dips and things like that. It’s basically a Netflix for workouts but some of them don’t require anything, some require the box, some require a weight or medicine ball. and if I can I will try to go to the gym and just grab a 15lb or 10lbs and take it back to my room. But I usually feel bad taking weights from the gym and get looks when I bring them back after having them in my room. But there are at least 15 good workouts ( a lot more options on there if you want less intense workouts) that don’t require any weights. I just repeat those. The ones that require weights I’ll wait until I’m at home with my dumbbells on weekends. There’s a free 30 day trial so you can check it out
SWEAT :) different plans for different goals (BBG HIIT workouts or PWR for pure weight training)
Pilates has done wonders for my lower back and core. I go 2x and run 2-3x a week.
I lift twice a week. I can tell it works because I lift more than when I started and I'm visibly more muscular. Any program that's progressive, whether it's lifting/running/whatever, you're not asking if it works because you can tell whether you're faster/stronger/etc. at whatever you're training.
When I'm home I try to mix boxing classes with spinning, Pilates, and Barre. Doesn't always work out but boxing is a major part of my routine now. My current project location isn't ideal so I haven't mastered a travel workout yet
I do a small group class that sends out a whole list of programming for the week. I pay to go to only one session a week, but then have programs for the whole week and a trainer to teach me to do new exercises safely.
I love Barry’s too. If it gets you to gym, it is worth investment. I don’t think it’s a fad it has helped me stay fit in my mid 40s post kids.
Are you quantitatively measuring your progress? If not, how can you know?
Has anyone done TRIBE?
