replying to @aok_NW @aok_NW @findinganeish @kate_frankie Climbing towers is hard work but definitely worth it. I thought I wasn’t going to make it all the way up the York Minster but I’m so glad I kept on. #PTTravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith I get a good core work out from just moving around the ship, and lots of strength work too. There's a reason we call it "sweating" a rope too. #pttravel

I'm realising how bad my fitness has been on trips in the past couple of years. I last hiked overseas 2 or 3 years ago. I haven't done an outdoor run for ages and prpmised myself I'd do yoga in India but didn't have time

I'd love to do more tai chi maybe in China or other countries in Asia.
Maybe a dance class?

replying to @DawnCorleone @DawnCorleone @aok_NW @kate_frankie I'm usually fine but I had the beginnings of a panic attack up Basel Minster this year -- it was unbelievably narrow near the top. Made it eventually though. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I'm getting ready for doing the mountain leader training course, and I've been sailing so much that coming up from a pontoon at low tide feels like a challenge sometimes. Sailors are rubbish at hills. #pttravel

replying to @DawnCorleone @DawnCorleone @findinganeish @kate_frankie Matthias Church in Budapest was a hard one for me, but this is what you find at the top. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel We were at the Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an when a group of ladies doing tai-chi invited us to join them. I've been looking for a class locally ever since.

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @aok_NW @kate_frankie I sympathize. I get panicky on those narrow twisting stairs, especially when I can’t see daylight (and people are clamoring up behind me so I can’t really stop). #pttravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith It's great for balance and so relaxing. I did one class and haven't made time since. I need to look up places to do it here or overseas #PTTravel

A3 #pttravel I thought I had some photos of the tai-chi class, but I couldn't find them. But, how about the 'jungle gyms' (trimmbahn) that you often find in Germany and Austria. It was such a surprise coming on one for the first time.

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @DawnCorleone @aok_NW Height is the only real fear I have so it's difficult climbing or walking where there is a steep drop #PTTravel

A3 I had to use crutches during my last trip and simple walks already felt like a fitness program 😃 #pttravel

replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 @kate_frankie #pttravel Oh, I don't know. I did a joint services mountaineering course, and a sailor really beasted us off. (It wasn't till later, I found out what 'POPTI' stood for!)

A3. For me travel is mostly about mental health. It's about spending time alone; removing myself from my routine and everyday stresses in order to see what's left. #PTTravel

A3. This is my main form of fitness when I travel. And until I learn how to do lightweight packing, it's just about plodding along. I've got until May and the #TGOChallenge to get back up to speed. #Getoutside #pttravel

A4 #pttravel #travel has a very positive effect on my mental health. Just being there has brought me out of more than one valley. I think it helps a lot.
BPackersGuide
A4 Yes, it can! It gives me time amd space to destress and to be away from my everyday routines. I can think about anything I want while exploring our amazing world and learning about it and myself #pttravel
NomadKeith
A4 #pttravel Can it help? That's WHY I travel. I once spent a year staring out of the same office window at the same car park. Any longer, I think I might have lost it.
kate_frankie
replying to @JKatzaman @JKatzaman I agree. It breaks the same old cycles especially if you've been working without many breaks (shifts or weekend work as well as weekday) #PTTravel

A4) #travel is key for mental health and wellness -- it's not only a much-needed break in most cases but it always serves as a reset button for us. Even the shortest trip usually forces you to step out of your daily routine #PTTravel

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish It's vital that we don't neglect our own mental health while travelling. I find that being outdoors is so important for me, especially at this time of year. I'm spending a day each week conservation volunteering in a local woodland #Getoutside #pttravel

A4 #PTTravel
The positive impact for me is why I travel for leisure.
Business travel has been hectic and tiring the past few months. I need to remember to build in rest and to not cram too many cities into a trip
NomadKeith
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel It's very basic gym equipment, made out of local timber, which you come across from time to time on a woodland walk. There's sometimes a pictogram telling you what to do. Look for signs to 'Trimmbahn' or 'Trim-dich-fit'.

A4. It's about knowing yourself, and what works when. I need to be able to find my own space and get out in a wild place sometimes, but other times need to socialise and be around people #pttravel
