On the go workout

As the holiday season begins, everyone is off to grandma's house. The busiest time of the year to travel is now. What does that mean for most people? There workouts are put on the back burner. Whether you are in a hotel or spending the weekend on the denim couch from 1970 at your grandparents house, you have options to workout. Here is great full-body workout you can do anywhere, anytime, to keep you in shape, and your metabolism up during the holiday traveling season! I wrote out a beginner and advanced model

Beginner

Warm-up: 1 minute jumping jacks

BW Squat to chair

Standing Alternating Lunge

Push-ups

Chair Dips

Back Extensions (Supermans)

Plank Hold 30-45 seconds

Each exercise could be completed for 8-12 reps each time with 3-4 sets for each exercise.

Be sure to get a good cool down and stretch in after.

Advanced:

Warm-up: 1 minute jumping jack combined with 1 minute jumping crossovers

BW Squat

Plyo Alternating Lunges

Push Back Push-ups-Click here for a great demonstration by Nick Tumminello

Inverted Row

Triceps Dips with feet elevated

Back Extension-roll over to V-up combo

Plank Variations (Forearm and side supported)

Each exercise could be completed for 8-12 reps each time with 3-4 sets for each exercise.

Be sure to get a good cool down and stretch in after.

Pretty simple and straight forward, but when you are traveling it is a good way to get a quick workout in without too much disruption in your schedule. If you invest in bands or TRX straps the exercises are endless. E-mail me for more information on programs only using resistance bands or straps.

Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving.
