Hotel Room Workout
As much as I love to travel, it always throws a wrench into my workout routine. My regular schedule is out the window; I don’t have my equipment; often I don’t have much space to work with especially in hotel rooms and finding the time to exercise can be a challenge. But I’ve found ways to improvise my regular exercise regime that I thought I would share. Keep in mind: this is also great for home workouts too.
A tip: I would suggest packing a jump rope and a resistance band; they are small, compact, and inexpensive. You can get a great cardio workout and do a variety of exercises with the band.
Choose the option that best fits your fitness level but try and challenge yourself too. Do a 3-5 minute warm-up of jogging on the spot, jumping jacks or stairs, or jump rope.
Workout:
Level 1: 30” work/10” *rest, 1 round
Level 2: 40” work/10” *rest, 2 rounds
Level 3: 50” work/ 10” *rest, 3 rounds
Circuit:
- Pushups (knees, toes, or alternating one-legged)
- Double Crunch Abs (hips & shoulders come off floor at same time) – bent or straight legs
- Mountain Climbers
- Squats – hands overhead
- Burpees
- Alternating Rear Lunges
- Bicycle Abs
- Frog Jumps (forward and back) drop bum close to floor
- Straight Arm Plank with alternating Arm lifts
- Squat to alternating front kick
- Split Jumps
- Triceps Dips (on floor or off sturdy chair or table)
- V-sit Abs (hold or twist)
- 4 shuffles right (touch the floor), 4 shuffles left touch floor – REPEAT
* For an added challenge: take out the rest and do some form of cardio between each exercise (jump rope/high knees/ jump squats etc) for 30 seconds.
