I just want to know that best workout in the long traveling..
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Buy a set of resistance bands and you will have full body trainings. Plus it takes a little of space in your luggage

IMO, it kind of depends on what your workout routine looks like when you are home. But then again, any workout is better than none. I'm a "garage gorilla" and prefer to lift heavy sh%t at home. To mix things up years ago I did bodyweight workouts and found that if done correctly you could get stronger and build some muscle. With this experience I was able to take it on the road during travel and the only thing I brought was a foldable pull-up bar. The other alternatives that I like is TRX or similar product and Isometric training. The key to all these is to use them at home for a month to get acquainted with the equipment (If any) and movements. Explorer people like Anthony Arvanitakis (Homemade Muscle), Paul Wade (Convict Conditioning & The Ultimate Isometric Manuel.) Below is an example of Convict Conditioning Progressions. Aside from all that, 2-5 sets of 10-20 burpees with a push-up and a jump will do the trick, only resting 1-2 minutes between sets.

Push ups and pull ups.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

There is no best. You can get cheap day passes at gym pre covid. I own a pair of gymnastic rings. Very inexpensive. A tree or soccer post or playground will suffice

You can do pushups and bodyweight squats (and all variants thereof) literally anywhere. You can also walk/run and do any stretching/yoga pretty much anywhere. Why is this even a question? Oh, you don't think pushups and squats are tough? Add a plyometric (jumping) action to it, and get back with me.
The real question should be, "How do I get the discipline to do these things?" We can have a legitimate conversation around that.

When I travel, I check ahead for local gyms. I've only ever stayed in one hotel that had a decent gym. Many motels/hotels without in-house facilities have deals worked out with nearby fitness centers/gyms, where you can train at a discount or for free. Ask. Otherwise, most gyms will admit you at "day rate," charges to train by the day or week. Check the Yellow Pages when you arrive at your motel/hotel. Even little hole-in-the-wall towns usually have at least one "fitness" center.
The nutrition end of things is much more difficult. You're pretty much on your own as far as making good choices at restaurants, very often not an easy thing to do. Where there's a will, however, there's always a way.
Bottom line, just do your best, and don't stress-out if things aren't perfect.

Planks. The most simple and time-efficient compound exercises out there. Travel requires simplicity and efficiency. Carrying anything with you is not simple so body weight exercises are best. Especially if they are compound exercises (single exercise targeting several muscles at once).

Carrying bands that fit in a pouch the size of headphones is too much of a problem?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
