A quick airport workout can make your flight more pleasant, it will get your blood flowing and it will make you feel great throughout the flight. It is very beneficial for your health. A quick airport workout before the flight is a must.
So why was I the only person working out in LA airport yesterday? And why was everybody staring at me?
Who is that crazy person jumping up and down and doing push ups? Some people stopped by and watched me for a little while. I just smiled at them and told them to join me. But they didn’t.
I was flying only to San Francisco, which is only about 1 hour flight and it’s not a big deal. But there were people in LA airport sitting on their butts for an hour waiting for a flight to New York. There they are, sitting for an hour before the flight, and than they will be sitting on their butts for another 5 hours or so.
I can already see all of them in the middle of their flight to NY hurting from simply sitting too much. Their bodies are screaming and legs are cramping.
Intensive quick airport workout before your flight will make your body handle the long flight better and without pain. Even light walking and stair climbing will reduce the stiffness from prolonged sitting when done before it.
So now, I was thinking, that not I am crazy, but all those people sitting and not exercising or moving around are. Especially those facing 5 hour flight.
I am really serious abut this. To feel better and avoid body aches from prolonged sitting, that is so bad for your body, work out before the flight. And than, sitting will feel more pleasant and natural.
My quick airport workout:
3x
50 push ups
35 squat jumps
I immediately achieved great blood flow without sweating, and really enjoyed my flight.
