Hey everyone, Callie Durbrow here again and I wanted to touch on a really, really important topic. I work with dozens of clients every week that have to travel for their job. It’s a pretty common thing here in Boston with all of the big corporations and businesses that are around. It’s nothing for some of my clients to be on a plane to New York for the day or even to China or Japan for weeks at a time.
Has that ever happened to you? What do you end up doing when you are on the road? Do you work out, maybe doing some cardio at the hotel gym if you have time? Do you stress out about the lack of time and end up skipping all workouts and training opportunities so you can get more work done?
I know how it goes. You are focused on your career and that’s important. But, if it’s done correctly, you can literally get an amazing fat burning workout in ONLY 24 minutes. Heck, you can get up 30 minutes earlier and do it before you even have your morning shower and coffee. What a great way to kick start your day and get focused for all of the busy meetings and client lunches that you have.
It sounds easy, right? But how many of you will actually do it? It’s pretty annoying to have to trudge down to the hotel gym and fight off all of the other travelers that are probably trying to do the exact same thing that you are, work out before their day begins. What if the hotel doesn’t even have a gym? This is probably unlikely but it can happen. What if you don’t have time to figure out all of the equipment and what if they don’t have what you need?
Let me tell you what, there is a really, really simple answer to all of these worries. There are TONS of workouts that you can do, right in the comfort of your hotel room and I can guarantee they are 10 times more effective than whatever you might do in the hotel gym or if you go outside for a jog.
Here is a great hotel room workout that requires no equipment except your own body:
Perform 3-5 rounds, depending on your fitness level
Work at each exercise for 30 seconds and rest for 10 seconds in between exercises
Rest for 1 minute in between circuits
A. Mountain Climbers
B. Push Ups (from knees or military)
C. Body Weight Squats
D. Reverse Lunges (alternate)
E. Seated Torso Rotation (feet up)
Working out on the road can be fun, simple and rewarding. It’s a great way to boost productivity, energy and help keep your fitness levels high. Be sure to plan just 24 minutes each day and I can guarantee that you will feel and look great!
For those of you that are regular travelers, stay tuned over the next few weeks for a great new e-book that I’m developing with step-by-step workouts and nutrition, lifestyle and time management skills for all of your traveling needs.
