Biking and Getting Shape During Daily Commute-The Digital Nomads Way!

We all have errands to do and the first thing we do is jump in a car and get them done. For those of us who travel we often rent, take a ride share service or public transportation. We might not think of biking as a preferred transportation. Biking is a great way to get in shape. I have a trainers certificate (fyi in case you need some help) so I'm always looking into creative ways to get in shape without looking like I'm getting in shape (I don't want to feel like I'm working out but instead living a positive lifestyle with with certain goals and objectives in mind.). 

Like many of you I got into this rut where I was working out but not really improving. Over trained, sore and tired. The first thing I did was change my eating habits and then I changed the variety in my workouts. It made all the difference!

While I don't have any plans at being a serious bike person for speed racing I do like using my bike to get around town. I'm commuting around San Diego (SD) to get to the gym, grocery store, and visit friends. Because I'm near the coast that is easier with all the beach trails. SD is bike friendly and public transportation friendly in general compared to many cities. 

A digital nomad is a person who can move anywhere and work anywhere. I have met people who don't have homes but just travel the world. In my case, I have a home but still travel significantly. A bike is really a good digital nomad form of transportation because we often roam within tourist areas on a daily basis. When we have to go long distance we rent, bum a ride, or ride share.

I came across a very nice article in the about some of the health benefits. Of course another motivating video!!!! (It helps when I bike to the gym and its damp out.)

As a stoic tip for life.... You will see a much richer neighborhood with detail when you get out of the car and walk and bike. Things you would never have seen become more apparent.
