It’s hard to stick to a workout regimen while traveling. And even though most hotels have gyms, a lot of people hardly use them. Therefore, I have crafted the following workout which is perfect for being in the road. The beauty of it is that it is quick, intense, gets the whole body working, and it can be done anywhere. It is performed for time (done as quickly as possible while maintaing good form) and it consists of:
5 sets
-10 pushups
-12 situps
-15 squats
-10 dips
The workout is thorough and intense. It fully utilizes all of the major muscle groups and leaves a good burning sensation at the end. It is a change of pace from doing machines and is fun and exciting to do. If you stick to it then you won’t feel so guilty when you are traveling.
For hotel work-outs I think the Eden Rock in Miami Beach may be the best. They have a full olympic pool for adults to swim laps, in addition to a kids’ pool (so there are no kids in your pool). And all of the exercise equipment faces the beach. Just thinking about it makes me want to hop on a plane. It’s so easy! You just get off the plane and climb into a taxi –and another world.
