TRAVEL BAG
What is it that fitness trainer to the stars Harley Pasternak can’t leave home without? Find out on
Pasternak travelled 160,000 kilometres on American Airlines in the first four months of this year alone. The Canadian celebrity trainer builds the bodies of Kanye West, Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga to name a few. He has fitness facilities all over the globe and gets non-stop bookings to speak on health and wellness. Here are the five items he never leaves home without.
Justin’s Almond Butter
John Mayer got me into this product two years ago. He’s addicted to it. He couldn’t buy the jars because he’d eat the whole thing, so he bought these packets for me. I eat it right out of the packet when I’m on a plane. The protein and fat make me feel full.
10 squeeze packs, $19
New Balance Shoes
I’ve been working with New Balance for close to 10 years helping them design shoes. I got the new Fresh Foam Zante. It has the technical aspect of a running shoe, but it has a leather upper so it looks good with jeans.
Fresh Foam Zante Leather, $179.99
Fitbit
I try to do a minimum of12,000 steps a day. You can invite friends who have Fitbit into your community and track their progress, too. I can check on Adam Levine, Ariana Grande, Jordana Brewster, Rick Fox and Maria Menounos.
Fitbit Flex, $119.95
Metamucil
When I’m in different time zones, I get out of whack. I have to keep my body functioning regularly so I drink Metamucil to help satiate my appetite. I’ll mix the orange flavour with water and have it in the morning, and then later in the afternoon.
425 g, 72 teaspoons, $14
Smartwater
There’s something about the shape of the bottle that reminds me to stay hydrated. Maybe it’s because it looks like a dumbbell. I buy this as soon as I get past the X-ray scanners at the airport. I try to drink three litres a day.
1 L, $2.50
