Traveling doesn’t have to wreck your workouts — this app proves it

If you’re one of those travelers who also takes a 24/7 approach to staying in shape, you probably know how badly a busy itinerary can screw up your workouts. Crossing multiple time zones in a matter of hours may come with occasional thrills, but we’ve all had workouts that crashed and burned or simply didn’t happen after a long, exhausting flight.

Now there’s a travel app that’s designed to help with this problem. It’s from Flykitt, which has already positioned itself as a leader when it comes to jet lag, and the company describes its new app feature as “the first AI fitness coach designed for travel.” The feature, Flykitt Fit, is designed for those who prioritize workouts when they hit the road, and it offers some appealing ways to make them better.

How Flykitt works for workouts

Start with the planning phase. Finding a gym after a long flight can be a special kind of nightmare, but Flykitt
Fit goes beyond just locating the right gym. You can upload photos of the equipment you’ll be using, and Flykitt will take it from there by designing design a custom workout based on the available equipment.

These workouts can be customized, too. The app can help you focus on strength if you’d like, or it can help you with other choices like HIIT or travel recovery. Moreover, you can further refine your workout according to your energy level that day, or you can hone in on sore spots you need to address.

You can even get real-time feedback as you go through your workout. The app will supply videos for each step of your workout, and you can upload your personal videos for comparison and improvement. All of this is based on AI, which is supplied by Fount,  and the upshot of it all is that the app can function as your personalized travel trainer, with you in control every step of the way.

Combining workouts and jet lag prevention

Flykitt already brings some serious credentials to the market when it comes to jet lag prevention. The company claims a success rate of 93% when it comes to keeping travelers free of jet lag every time they use the app, with over 1,000 “experiments” to its credit.

The basis for this success rate is extensive research. Flykitt has worked with Navy SEALs and fighter pilots to get its results, and the military relies on both the app and the resulting data. But they’re not the only high-level Flykitt clients.

“We used Flykitt for international matches, as well as coming into the World Cup,” said Darcy Norman of USA Soccer. “Helped immensely, helping both players and staff hit the ground running.”

NASA is on board, too. “It’s the first commercially available cure for jet lag,” adds Renee Wynn, former NASA CIO. Until recently, it was available only to the military and select pro sports teams.”

The app is free to download, but the company recommends using it with the Flykitt Starter Pack, which includes glasses that block blue light as well as custom supplements. The price for the Starter Pack is $99, with discounts available for multi-trip bundles.

Tired of shaky workouts? Meet the MERACH UltraWalk W60 Plus – a walking pad built to last
Animal, Canine, Dog

Finding time to exercise is hard enough. The last thing you need is fitness equipment that feels unstable, sounds like it's about to fall apart, or struggles to keep up with your pace. Yet that's exactly what many budget walking pads deliver. Lightweight frames, noisy motors, and limited performance often turn what should be an enjoyable workout into a frustrating experience.

The MERACH UltraWalk W60 Plus aims to change that. Instead of simply offering another compact walking pad, MERACH has built a treadmill-grade under-desk fitness machine designed for long-term reliability, stability, and everyday convenience. Whether you're walking while working, squeezing in a quick cardio session, or looking to stay active without leaving home, the W60 Plus is engineered to make movement feel effortless.

From wheelchair to walking: The power of mindset, movement, and never giving up
Sometimes it's the hardest roads that lead us to a deeper sense of purpose

I never expected I'd have to learn how to walk again. That journey took me from writing for doctors and magazines to spending thousands of hours researching health and autoimmune disease. When we have excellent health, many of us don’t give it much thought until those sneaky symptoms start to show, and one day it all comes crashing down. Now, our health becomes one of the most important priorities. When we feel good, we can be more productive and chase our dreams. When our health declines and we don’t feel so good, one of our biggest dreams is just to feel better. 

I became a health writer 12 years ago, shortly after graduating with my creative writing degree and getting a diagnosis of the autoimmune bone condition, ankylosing spondylitis. In an effort to improve my health, stay mobile, and help prevent my bones from calcifying and fusing, I spent thousands of hours studying everything from nutrition and naturopathy to conventional medicine and holistic healing. I heard this somewhere, so I can’t take credit, but I like to say I went to “save my ass university”, because pain and illness are some of the biggest motivators.

I tried Magic Mind for a month and here is what happened to my productivity
Does Magic Mind really help with your productivity or is it just another buzz.
Furniture, Business Card, Paper

I am proudly an all-brown beverage man. I say it often: I am coffee in the morning, bourbon in the evening, and Pepsi/Coke in between. I know what you're thinking: What about water? Well, all of those are mostly water. And who wants to drink the same thing they bathe in? That sounds gross. All jokes aside, the coffee addiction is real, and I am not alone. Who thinks they can truly conquer a day without a hard shot of caffeine? I would get it in an IV if it were feasible to do on the subway instead of a cup to go. But that doesn't have to be the only way you develop your productivity. Instead, you can look to the more natural and healthy methods to maintain and increase your effectiveness. I got my hands on some Magic Mind recently, one of the many different products that claim to elevate brain health, increase mental performance, and, of course, replace the coffee without losing the energy boost. But does it work?
