Life doesn’t always stick to a schedule, and neither should your workouts. Whether you’re traveling, working long hours, or simply prefer flexibility, portable fitness makes it possible to stay consistent anywhere. This travel-guide style article explores tools, strategies, and tips for keeping your training strong — no matter where life takes you.
Why Portable Fitness Matters
