Pardon the
headline, but I had to make this fun! Working out while traveling can be a
pain. Your normal routine may be out of whack, the hotel you’re staying in may
not have a gym, or the equipment that you’re used to. But there are some great
easy exercises you can do in the comfort of your hotel room.
Especially
if you plan to take a few days off from training, aim for a full body routine
that will build muscle, burn fat, and also exercise your heart.
Always
start off with a warm-up to get your muscles loose and your heart rate pumping. Start with this quick and easy routine.
25 jumping
jacks
15 body
weight squats
10 push ups
20 static
lunges lunges (alternating each leg each leg (10 on each side))
Go through
this twice..
For the
rest of your workout, body weight exercises will be just fine. You can use your
suitcase too for some added weight!
Focus on
working every major body part and do a circuit of sorts. Set your phone timer
and have a ago at this for 15 to 20 minutes.
■Legs
■Arms
■Chest/Back
■Core
Try to do each
exercise, one after another, without stopping if possible. But stop in if you
need to! Just remember you’re trying to complete as many circuits as possible
within the 15-20 minutes without compromising your form.

Plank
(hold for 30 seconds and increase if you can with each circuit as you go)
After you
get through this (you will be sweating!) don’t forget to post workout stretches
to avoid injury!
The best
part, you can hop in the shower right after this quick workout : )
