No Gym, No Problem: Workouts on the Go

If my life had a theme song, it would probably be “On the Road Again.” Seriously, between business trips, family vacations, and everything in between, Chris and I travel A LOT, so finding workouts that work anytime, anywhere has been essential! For years, I was caught up in the mentality that I needed a hotel gym or some fancy pieces of equipment to get a real workout in, but the truth is, you don’t need any of that stuff! Forget the latest and greatest workout classes, equipment, and the big, bad, weights?you really can get in a solid workout without all the barbells and whistles. No gym, no problem!

The moment you realize that being fit doesn’t mean being in the gym for hours every single day is the moment your life will dramatically change!

Pack that little nugget of knowledge inside that carry-on bag and get ready to learn how you can still get in a great workout while you’re on the go!

Why Bodyweight Exercises Work.

One of the key ways to ensure you get a quality workout when you can’t get to the gym is to go harder in your movements. I’m talking about busting out more reps, more sets, and using the best weight you can find?yourself. Body weight movements are effective and already give you everything you need in one: You! All it takes is 10-20 minutes of focused, strategic exercise, and you’re set for the day. Not only will you feel accomplished, but you’ll jump-start your metabolism and keep it kicking as you go about your exploring, work meetings, or anything else that pops up on your agenda.

Workouts on the Go
