Frequent travellers face unique challenges for staying fit while away. The simple act of traveling with lack of sleep, dehydrating flights and prolonged sitting, can leave even the healthiest person exhausted. Combine this with a packed schedule and staying fit when on the road becomes a challenge and quite often, an inconvenience.

The reality is that it is during this time of heightened stress when you most require exercise, to help you release muscle tension and optimize function of all systems… ie respiratory, circulatory, immune, muscular, digestive, nervous etc.

Here are some simple and convenient ways to help you stay fit with the BodyBolster, your portable gym when on the road.

Use your ‘in-flight time’ productively!

The BodyBolster is your ideal travel companion. It was developed by Australian physiotherapists to support the back and to assist the body to move naturally by lengthening and conditioning muscles and joints. It is self-inflating and can be folded and tucked away in your carry-on bag.

The BodyBolster allows you to perform extensive in-chair exercises to stretch, release muscle tension, improve blood circulation to avoid Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and of course, to support your back and neck.

There are 10 therapeutic, seated exercises that you can do during the flight to arrive at your destination feeling relaxed, supple and invigorated.

20 minutes exercise, without even getting out of your pyjamas!

Once you get to your destination there is no need to slip on workout clothes and head to the gym.

Early morning and late night workouts are a thing of the past. You can exercise in the convenience of the hotel room in your pyjamas.

Pull out your BodyBolster as soon as you are in your room because you’ll  inevitably want to stretch off the tension!  The BodyBolster will allow you to lengthen each stretch 20% further.  Stretching improves physical function, releases tension and improves blood circulation to organs and systems. It’s a great way to reset the mind and body.

Keep the BodyBolster handy, by your bedside, because the last thing you’ll want to do once you get in bed at night is to place it under your neck to open up the cervical spine and release muscle tension in your neck and shoulders- improving  blood circulation to the brain- so you get a more restful night’s sleep.  Move it further down, in your lower back to stretch your lower back – and  you will feel a slow, gentle release and lengthening of your back.

Use it daily to achieve the following outcomes:
