podbeat: your travel, running and podcast prayers are answered

I've always been a huge fan of both tech and reading, but I often struggle to fit podcasts into my exercise routine without feeling like I'm dragging my feet. The Diary of a CEO whilst you’re heavy breathing and running around the block can be you know, a bit low energy.

Until I found Podbeat. .

Podbeat is a completely free app that redefines the workout experience by allowing you to add a beat to any podcast or audiobook. This little pocket of tech has transformed my runs, hikes, bike rides, and gym sessions. The added beat injects just the right amount of energy, making the whole experience not just bearable but actually enjoyable. I’m also usually left learning loads too which is a win, win.

travel and exercise routines

Maintaining a routine whilst travelling or running a business is so important and something I talk about advocate for on a regular. Consistency and routine are everything. They're the backbone of productivity and mental health, especially when you're navigating the chaos of travel or the 24/7 demands of running a business. For me, running isn't just physical exercise; it's a mental escape, a slice of time where I can disconnect and recharge.

It's kept me grounded and sane(ish), through the whirlwind of ‘travel days’ and endless to-do lists. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no Ussain Bolt but the point is just getting out and moving your body. Plus, everyone has to start somewhere, right?

Podbeat is something I wanted to share because it's not just about making runs more energetic; it's about maintaining that precious balance between physical activity, mental health, and my love for learning—even when my surroundings are constantly changing. It's a tool that supports my routine, keeping me anchored no matter where in the world I am.

It's a nice, simple hack to make sure that no matter where we find ourselves, we can keep our routines intact, our bodies active, and our minds engaged.

Podbeat has become an great part of my travel kit, blending the worlds of fitness, learning, and productivity. For anyone looking to keep their energy levels up and their mind sharp, all while sticking to their fitness regime, give it a go!
