Our Favorite Compact Travel Fitness & Nutrition Products
We’re not sure about you, but we are anxious to start traveling again! While airplanes can take you a lot farther (and get you there much faster) than a car, there are definite trade-offs. Packing for air travel is way less flexible. Here is the countdown of our top 5 favorite products designed to help you stay on track with your health and fitness goals while also saving space for your next adventure.
#5: Pocket Food Scale
- For those of you who live and die by counting macros, it’s impossible to take a trip without your food scale. Unfortunately, the bulky scales aren’t going to cut it. Pocket food scales are a great option. We personally love the Taylor Digital Food Scale ($17.99) because the cover also serves as a tray to weigh your food. Now you can make sure you hit those protein grams exactly!
#4: Collapsible Duffel Bag
- Anyone else HATE refolding dirty laundry that has accumulated over a 2 week trip? Us too. A few years back, we started taking an extra duffel bag that we could throw our dirty clothes in without worrying about cramming them in the same suitcase with the rest of our clean clothes (anyone else a habitual over packer?). The beauty of the collapsible duffel bag is that it barely takes up any room when zipped up. Place it in the outside pocket of your suitcase. You don’t need an expensive one either – we love the $9.99 Protégé 20in travel bag from Walmart.com.
#3: TRX Suspension Trainer
- No hotel gym? No problem! Traveling isn’t an excuse to miss your workouts. Get your full body workout on with the TRX HOME2 System, complete with a mesh carrying bag for just under $200. We challenge you to find another total body workout system that takes up less space!
#2: The Matador Hiking Pack
- Want to hit the trails while you’re on that work trip out west, but no room for a huge hiking pack? The Matador Beast 28L UltraLight Technical Backpack ($149.99) has you covered. In addition to its sleek design, it rolls up into a compression sack for easy travel.
#1: The Kilo Collapsible Shaker Bottle
- Of course, we’ve saved the best for last. Our Kilo collapsible shaker bottle is our favorite space saving product to help you hit your nutrition goals on the go. When fully expanded, it fits two scoops of protein powder and holds 16 oz. It also serves a great dual purpose as a reusable water bottle for the airport. Collapse it down to 2.5 inches and tuck it in your backpack, purse, or travel bag. Viola!
