WITH 3 ITEMS THAT FIT IN YOUR LUGGAGE
Hey, crew! Artem from FitFrHome here. So, you’re like me—always on the move, traveling, stuck on the road, and the last thing you want is to hit some overcrowded hotel gym. How do you get in shape while traveling without lugging a whole fuc…in’ gym in your suitcase? Easy. I’ve got the top three portable workout items that don’t take up space, fit anywhere, and keep you on track no matter where you’re at. Pause right now—drop your guesses in the comments below. What do you think I’m packing? Let’s see if you nailed it!
Alright, here they are: resistance band, parallettes, and pull-up bar attachments (specifically the Duonamic Eleva). These are my must-haves for every trip—portable, versatile, and badass for any workout. Let’s break ‘em down and see why they’re the real deal for staying fit on the go.
#1: RESISTANCE BAND: YOUR DO-IT-ALL Tool
First up, the resistance band. This thing’s a clutch player for getting in shape while traveling. It’s tiny—wrap it up, shove it in your bag, and it barely takes up any room. But don’t sleep on it; this little guy’s versatility is off the charts. Beginners, pros, doesn’t matter—you’re getting a full portable workout with it.
Warm-ups? Check—stretch out your shoulders or loosen up before you hit it hard. Pulling exercises? Step on it, do curls, seated rows—bam, your back and biceps are covered. My favorite? Overload your push-ups. Loop it around your back, set up like this, and now your push-ups are heavy as hell without needing weights or a backpack. From stretching to strength, this band’s a no-brainer—it’s coming with me every damn trip. See it in action on my YouTube.
#2: PARALLETTES: PUSHING POWER ON THE GO
Next, parallettes. These bad boys are a game-changer for a portable workout while traveling. They’re light, cheap—mine were like 15 bucks, just PVC pipes with grips—and they slide right into your bag. Plus, hotel floors? Nasty. You don’t want your hands down there. With these, you’re off the ground and crushing pushing exercises anywhere.
Set ‘em up for push-ups—regular or deep ones for that extra stretch. Want more? They’re perfect for advanced calisthenics—think L-sits or handstand work if you’re leveling up. They won’t do pulling, sure, but for every pushing move you need to get in shape, they’ve got you. Portable? Check. Versatile? Hell yeah. They’re a must-pack for me. New to this?

#3: PULL-UP BAR ATTACHMENTS – BACk Day
Last but not least, the pull-up bar attachments—specifically the Duonamic Eleva. Found these a few years back, and they’re a fuc…in’ revelation for getting in shape while traveling. They’re tiny—like a small book—slip between your clothes in your luggage, and you won’t even notice ‘em. But strap ‘em onto any doorframe, and boom—you’ve got a full-on pull-up bar anywhere.
Pull-ups are my jam, and these let me knock ‘em out no matter where I’m crashing. But it’s not just pull-ups—hang from it for core work, mix in pulling variations, or practice calisthenics skills. Portability’s insane, and the versatility? Top-tier. These don’t leave my bag. Want to master pull-ups? Grab my How to Do Your First Pull-Up E-Book.
COMBO POWER – MAKE ‘EM WORK TOGETHER
Here’s why these three are gold—they play nice together for a killer portable workout. Pair the resistance band with the pull-up bar—run it through the Eleva, step on it, and you’ve got assisted pull-ups or pulldowns if you’re not there yet. Mix the band with the parallettes—hold it, set up on the bars, and now your push-ups are deeper, harder, with a crazy contraction. It’s like a mini gym in your luggage.
