How To Work Out While You Travel

Traveling? There are only three exercises to focus on, and it takes maybe 15 minutes total to do. We call this the hotel workout.

During the workout, we hit the main muscle groups: your legs, chest, arms and abs without using any equipment.

1. Squats

Our first exercise is the squat. You’re going to go slow and try to pretend that there’s a bench behind you. Lower on the first five seconds and slowly stand back up on the last five seconds. Do this between 10 and 15 times or until you can’t anymore.

2. Negative Push Ups

The next one is the slow or negative pushup. You can try to keep your feet behind you or use your knees if you need to. Slowly lower your body on the first five seconds then push yourself back up on the last five seconds.

3. Sit Ups

If so someone tells you they can do a 1,000 crunches or sit-ups, they’re probably not doing them correctly. What you’re going to do is lay on the floor with your knees bent and your arms crossed over your chest. Stronger people can place their hands on the side of their forehead. Start by sitting up slowly on the first five seconds, keep your abs tight the entire time. Lower on the last five seconds.

Once you feel confident doing this you can do the same exercise with your legs bent at a 90-degree angle where your calves are parallel to the ground.
