My Hotel Room Workout

Jun 29th, 2011

Most of us don’t like to see vacation and working out in the same sentence. Vacation and sleeping? Yes. Vacation and drinking? Yes. Vacation and eating? Yes. Vacation and jump squats? Eh, no. But listen ladies, vacation shouldn’t give us workout amnesia. Here are the 5 simple exercises I do each morning when I am out of town. Doing these full-body moves before beginning your day will help alleviate any guilt you may have when ordering that extra cocktail or opting for the fries instead of the veggies. It is vacation after all!

Jumping Jacks to get your blood pumping: 3 sets of 20 jacks

Push-Ups for upper body: 3 sets of 20 reps

Jump Squats for lower body: 3 sets of 20 reps

In-place lunges for lower body: 3 sets of 10 lunges for each leg

Roll-up crunches for abdominals: 3 sets of 10 roll-ups

See, that’s not too hard. Try it the next time you take a trip. If you already have a routine please share in the comments below!

    have you read anything about jumping jacks being too harsh on female body parts? Helping rope when you are not spreading your legs is probably better
