When I travel, I always try to stay active and incorporate movement into my day just like when I’m home. I prefer to exercise outdoors or do something adventurous in the area I’m in. But sometimes, the thing that works out best is just waking up in my hotel room, busting out a quick workout to get my endorphins flowing, and moving on with my day’s agenda.
A yoga session this week on the rooftop of my Vegas hotel
This is most definitely the case when I travel for work. Although I’ve walked a ton on the convention center floor in Las Vegas this week, I’ve also been fitting in morning exercise a couple of days this week. One morning I even made it to the gym for a strength training session, then taught my co-worker some yoga on the rooftop of our hotel. Another morning I did today’s workout: a quickie, 10-exercise circuit that requires no equipment at all…. because body weight training is easy & effective, especially when I’m on the road!
It’s perfect to do in a hotel room, and I actually made the workout up when I was in my hotel room in San Francisco last month. It takes around 20 minutes to complete, which is the perfect amount of time for me to do, then add in some yoga & stretching for a nice little workout. It’s also low-impact since I can’t do any jump training at the moment because of my foot injury.
Below are a couple of visuals for what some of the less common exercises look like. I hope that you give this workout a try – whether you’re traveling or not!
Tell me… Do you usually stay active while traveling? If so, do you typically hit the hotel gym, walk a lot, or book adventurous workouts like mountain biking or hiking?
I mostly wind up doing some of each when I travel!
Love this workout! We have some travel coming up so I can definitely use ideas! My husband usually hits up the hotel gym but they typically aren’t my preference!
This is pretty much the workout that I do when I am travelling. I try to squat as much as possible, to make up for all the eating haha
