Equipment-Less Workout You Can Do on the Go – Coming Straight from Gigi Hadid’s Trainer

Gigi is known to be someone that’s always on the move. The supermodel has a very active and busy lifestyle. She is flying across continents for shoots, catwalks, and everything else all the time. The Reebok ambassador still finds a way to keep herself going on the move and squeeze in a quick workout while on the move, but how does she do it?

If you are someone who is always on the move as well, but still like to keep themselves fit and active, you might know a little about how hard it is to include in that extra workout session while still being able to keep up with your work and life schedule. It is very convenient to let a bustling timetable ruin any chances of you complying with a daily exercise schedule. So how must you do it?

Talking about Gigi, she has her personal trainer Rob Piela, proprietor of Gotham Gym to keep her on her toes when she is on the move while simultaneously being able to check everything off of her daily to-do tasks. Let us take a dive into Gigi’s on-the-move schedule and see what she does differently to fit in those extra hours to her life.

Rob revealed a few secrets and tips, as well as a simple workout routine to help you accommodate a quick workout while you are out and about.

First things first, Rob confessed he helps Gigi with her workout sessions on FaceTime while she’s traveling. So, if you have a trainer as well or just a workout buddy, it is about time you tried giving this little trick a shot.

Another key is to take advantage of the environment that you are in and make use of its full potential. It’s not always easy to find someone to guide you or accompany you when trying to stay fit, so make use of your surroundings and use that space to your advantage.

Here. Piela has shared with us an easy and quick workout that Hadid likes to follow whilst on the move and the best part about this routine is that it requires absolutely no gear or equipment. So, gear up and get ready to work those muscles!
