Workout On The Go

When it comes to travel, for work, or vacation, you dont need much to get a good workout. If you have your body and are willing and able, then you have all the equipment needed. In leu of me being out of town and away from a gym I am bringing a total body, body weight workout,  I brought my TRX with me, which takes up very little space in my bag, but because most people dont own their own TRX Suspension Trainer here we go:

Starting with a small dynamic warm up:

• Over head lunges with a twist (arms placed straight over head, keep your shoulders pinned back and away from your ears and while keeping your back straight turn toward your forward knee alternating sides)
• Pull backs (Pull your foot behind you, otherwise knows as a Quad stretch, but I want you to hold for a count of one and alternate)
• Inch Worms (Forward bend keeping your knees straight, walk your hands forward into a strong plank position, hold plank for a count of one, without bending your knees and keeping your hands in place inch your feet forward toward your hands. REPEAT) 

Body of the work out: You can either do each circuit once with a 1min rest between or if you can pick one circuit and do it 3 times with a 1min rest between each set. Your choice!

Round 1:

• 20 Bodyweight Squats
• 10 Push-ups (elevate your hand on a bench if you cant do it on the floor, not on your knees if it is doable)
• 15 Burpees (If you don't hop at the top its NOT a burpee its a thruster!!!!!!)

Round 2:

• 20 Bodyweight squats
• 20 TOTAL Spider Plank (10 on each side. Hold plank position while bringing you knee to your elbow on the same side)
• 40 TOTAL High Knees (20 on each side. Its like running in place but you are aiming to bring your knees to or above hip height

Round 3:

• 20 Bodyweight squats
• 40 Mountain Climbers (20 on each side. In plank position with rapid fire bring your knee to your chest, do not let the forward foot touch the ground then shoot that foot back and alternate sides)
• 40 Speed skaters (20 to each side. Moving from side to side, leap to your right and like a speed skater throw your left arm in from of you and your left leg behind you, then leap to the left and do the opposite thing)

For every exercise listed there is a video or google image you can find. The fact that you have never heard of the exercise IS NOT AN EXCUS not to do the work out. 

Have fun on any vacation and keep up the good work
