Staying On Track While Traveling (Lessons Learned & How to Apply Them)
Staying on Track While Traveling: Lessons Learned & How to Apply Them
Show Notes:
In this episode of the Jason Khalipa Podcast, the crew shares personal experiences and practical tips about staying fit—mentally and physically—while on the road. From shirtless podcasting to surprise trades in pro sports, things get real quick. Gabe talks about gaining 7 pounds in 2 days, and the group dives into what it actually means to stay on track without obsessing over every meal.
You’ll hear thoughts on when it’s okay to veer off course, how long it really takes to impact your progress, and the role fitness plays in self-confidence and performance. The guys debate aesthetics, share Jason’s all-time favorite fitness test (spoiler: it involves burpees), and break down why there’s no “extra credit” for being naturally skinny or jacked.
Whether you’re traveling, vacationing, or just need a reset, this one’s for you.
