I'm Traveling - What Exercises Can I Do

So many people have to travel for their jobs. But please don’t use it as an excuse not to exercise. Some hotels have fitness centers that you can use, with at least the basic pieces of equipment (treadmill, bike, full body resistance machine, etc). Resistance bands, glider discs, circle bands are all light- weight and small that you can bring with you on travel. However, you don’t need a fitness center or any equipment at all to get a good workout in, regardless of where you are. There are plenty of body weight exercises that will give you a great workout with very little space needed.

Do 20 reps of each exercise, with minimum rest in between. Rest 1-2 minutes after completion of the circuit. Repeat for a total of 2-3 times through.
