These popular bodyweight workouts and programs can be streamed straight from the Tonal app.
You’ve worked hard earning an unbroken streak of workouts, but what happens when a vacation or a business trip pulls you away from your trainer? Thanks to Tonal’s wide selection of on-the-go workouts, you can keep your streak going even when you’re away from home.
An impressive streak doesn’t just get you bragging rights. Staying consistent with your fitness habit also makes it more likely you’ll stick with it long-term and achieve your goals. “It’s harder to get back into your routine when you go cold turkey,” says Frances Flores, a NASM-certified personal trainer and Tonal Coach. Even if your normal sleep and eating habits are disrupted by a vacation, she explains that sticking with your workouts will “help you maintain the results and the progress you’ve already achieved.”
If you normally only do one exercise modality, Coach Frances says on-the-go workouts are a great opportunity to experiment with new options such as gentle mobility or calorie-torching cardio. Since most require no equipment, these workouts can also easily be done with friends or family. “You might do it as a group activity, or it could be that 20 minutes you take for yourself,” she says.
The workouts below are some of the most popular on-the-go options among Tonal members. Most clock in at 25 minutes or less so you can squeeze one into a busy travel day. If you’re away for more than a few days, there are even multi-week all-bodyweight programs to try. Read on to learn more about the benefits of these workouts and how you can keep your gains going from anywhere.
