As you know, I have been on the road a bit lately, meaning my workouts have been on the road, too. Since I know a lot of you like when I post workouts that don’t involve weights/equipment and can be completed in the comforts of your own home, I thought I would share 2 of the workouts I’ve done in various hotel rooms over the past couple of weeks.
This one is a total body workout, incorporating cardio, core and strength exercises for a full body workout. Each exercise should be performed for 60 seconds, so if you want a fast workout, do it once, but if you’re looking for more, do 2-3 rounds of it. I did 2 rounds since I was short on time, but it still left me sweaty and tired!
Most of the moves are fairly standard, but the lunge and lift is a walking lunge and as you lift the back leg to step forward and lunge, work your glutes to lift the leg and get an extra booty burn.
This next workout, though, was one of my more favorite “at home” (or, hotel room, in my case) workouts that I’ve done in a while and I definitely see myself doing this again soon. I liked that it was 25 reps rather than 60 seconds. For some reason, the moves seemed less daunting knowing I could count down the reps until I got to zero.
The workout, including a 5 minute warm up, took me about 28 minutes to finish, but that’s because I was on it and didn’t take any extra rest. I literally jumped from the cardio to core moves with no delay, so if you take your time, it may take a little longer than that.
Here are links to some moves that are not as commonly used on the blog:
Plank with hip drop
Hitch Kick
I hope you like these- definitely let me know if you try one π
Questions for you: What is your favorite “at home” workout format? Do you prefer at home workouts or workouts to do at the gym?
Hi Nick, I loved your Halloween cut outs on your Blog–I just finished carving out a huge pumpkin–that does qualify as an arm workout!! As you know, my go to workout at home is a brisk walk up the Back road–during winter, x-country skiing up the same route is my fave. See you soon! Mom
they’re cute, right?! I didn’t carve my pumpkin this year:( See you Saturday!
great work-outs, you know I’m all for the ‘no-equipment’ at home ones, now! Thanks for these π
You’re welcome! I hope you like them:)
Great routines! It just seems amazing that exercises so simple can be so effective when you’re willing to put in a little bit of work with some intensity. No cost required and very little time to invest.
Thank you! And, exactly. I think people get caught up in trying to make things more complicated than they need to be when really, the basic moves can be super affective!
