Picture a trainee who packs gym clothes for forty-seven trips and trains on six of them. Tries the hotel gym twice — broken treadmill, no plates above 12 kg, abandoned. Buys a Theragun, a foldable kettlebell, a "travel-friendly" subscription app. Uses each one once. After five years and roughly £1,800 spent, still arrives home from every trip having not trained.
The variable is not equipment. The variable is the absence of a programme that survives the trip. This field guide is the programme.
