I haven’t had access to a gym for three months—this is the 30-minute Pilates practice I’ve been relying on to keep me strong and injury-free

I've been lifting weights for half a decade and not just because I want to build muscle. Strength training keeps my body as pain-free as possible, particularly with a long-standing knee injury.

In December, I embarked on a three month trip around New Zealand and Sri Lanka. I was excited but was worried about letting go of my usual weight training as I'd rarely have access to a gym while away.
