Travel Exercise Program
There are literally thousands of workout programs you can find on the web and stream live on YouTube for ideas to use in your room. Here’s a sample of what I use in the mornings to keep me in shape when I travel. Use the peripheral heart action workouts, where you alternate one upper body exercise and one lower body exercise. By alternating upper and lower body exercises, you cause the blood to flow back and forth creating more work for your heart.
Start by pairing one upper body exercise with one lower body exercise.
Travel Exercise Program:
- Push up/jump squats
- Diamond push up/lunges
- Plank/toe raises
- Spider crawl/bear crawl
Do one set of 6-8 repetitions of the upper body exercise, then rest, not more than 10 seconds, before starting one set of the lower body exercise of 6-8 repetitions. Take a 90-second rest before starting the next pair. Then repeat the pair of exercises 3 times, until switching to the next pair of exercises.
