Should you therefore pause training when travelling? How to keep in shape? Workout apps on smartphones or tablets are ideal for staying fit on the go. I have in mine Apple Fitness + Test tried one of the most comprehensive fitness apps.

As a passionate athlete, each Travel a challenge for my fitness level. Do you know that, too? The holiday is almost a stress factor because I know what's in store for me: Before the trip I run the ten-kilometer distance in 50 minutes, do push-ups and pull-ups until I can't resist - and two weeks later I come back from a trip and have it feeling like I have to start fitness all over again. The food in Hotel was too good, the lazy days at the beach just too relaxed to exercise and the sports center in the hotel is more of a fitness room with 30 year old machines. One knows.

Apple Fitness + is ideal on vacation

Everything was supposed to be different on my last trip - at least that's what I had planned. I had a few weeks before that Vacation Browsed through workout apps, tested different providers and was finally at Apple Fitness + remained – fortunately in mine Apple-One family subscription is available, which I use anyway. So I had no additional costs and from now on I had access to over 3.000 different video courses with exercises for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), functional strength training, kickboxing, yoga, meditation and various other courses - such as guided spinning (cycling) or jogging on the treadmill. The best conditions to stay fit on holiday.

Daily routine when traveling – and at home

Since high-intensity interval training (HIIT) quickly became my favorite, I decided to do a workout that lasts at least 20 or 30 minutes in the morning on vacation – preferably before a hearty breakfast. In the evening I wanted to do my leisurely jog on holiday as usual. Said and done. During the day there was also a leisurely walk on the beach, which you can do with a clear conscience Apple Watch as "walking outdoor" can be tracked. Basically you are with the Apple Fitness + workouts completely flexible on vacation. You can slide them in when it suits you best.

I mean on vacation Apple Fitness + test done

When the holidays came, I had already had a few weeks of training with me Apple Fitness + graduated. I particularly liked the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) because you can burn a lot of calories and keep fit in a short time. In addition, you do not need any equipment when doing this form of training. Functional strength training requires action. This is less suitable for travel.

Apple Tried fitness + on the beach

So I did my HIIT every morning when I got up on vacation. I went to the beach and did my exercises there at sunrise. The related Apple I downloaded Fitness + Workout offline so that I could use it even without internet reception. Barefoot in the sand, the level of difficulty was even slightly higher.

The unstable surface meant I had to pay a lot of attention to my balance and the additional resistance challenged me. However, the risk of injury in the sand certainly increases. I also did exercises on the balcony of our hotel room and in the hotel garden. Executing the exercises was easier on the stable surface.

A special advantage of Apple Fitness+ is the ability to get personalized metrics from your Apple Watch to use. So you can track your progress even better and make your training even more effective. Apple Fitness + Plus test experiences field report

Maximum flexibility when training on the go

Apple Fitness + is as flexible as possible. The great thing is that with the workout app you can determine the duration of your training yourself - depending on how much time you have available. So I didn't drive myself crazy and try to train for 30 minutes at a time, but could also take it easy if necessary. At regular intervals, the app shows on the Apple Watch Show how far you've gotten with closing the rings. Once you start paying attention to your rings, you'll have even more motivation to get fitter.

Best training for travel and vacation?

Apple Fitness + is really very handy for on the go. You stay fit without having to worry about sports facilities or equipment and can schedule your training when it suits you best. I usually do it first thing in the morning for a more relaxed start to the day. Depending on how intensively you train, you start with 200 to 600 activity calories. In the course of the day, ideally, especially on vacation, other activities such as "going outdoors", "swimming in open water" and similar activities accumulate.

If you then do your evening jog or do a bit of weight training in your hotel's fitness room, you'll be well-armed against the excess calories at the buffet. You don't feel like you're just getting into fitness after returning from vacation.
