Being fit for your travel

[Olddaddy]

This trip if I hadn't been relatively fit I wouldn't of got through it easily 

Everything from lifts out to escalator etc , had to carry my luggage 🧳 upstairs several times in Philippines 

Get my 🧳 out of Grab cars , walk on uneven footpaths etc 

Railway station steps , balance in the train travel standing up most trips , etc 

Trying to balance on a train without holding on takes skill

People nowadays this generation don't care if your old they will push you , rush for seats etc 

 

I don't know how you guys go who are not as fit 

I try to go to the gym to train to travel 🧳 

If your not fit ...please all I ask you to do is ..... exercise 🤸‍♂️⛹️‍♂️⛹️‍♂️🤺

I'm very fit for my age. Walking 15 or more kilometres a day and climbing stairs are not a problem for me when I travel.

At home I go for a walk around a lake near the city most days. If it rains I walk around shopping centres.

I have a gym downstairs at home, but I don't use it much. I installed it because both my 'friends' who , err.... look after me ...are into fitness, which is a bonus for me. Every now and then I do a bit of weight training when they come to visit, but nothing to strenuous. That effort comes later.

Sex is my main source of exercise. 🤣🤣

Important, also, is knowledge of environmental and other conditions we'll encounter at our destination(s).  Mexico City is a good case in point.  7,400 ft. altitude.  For some, maybe many visitors it can take a day or two (or the entirety of a visit) for the body to acclimate to the altitude.  Hot an humid beach destinations around the world can cause some people problems, too.  It's not just about being fit.  Overall health and how the environmental conditions play an important factor.
