5 QUICK TRAVEL WORKOUTS

 

Without access to your usual gym or exercise equipment, you might assume working out isn’t an option while on vacation. In reality, there are plenty of no-equipment workout sessions you can do in 20 minutes or less right from your hotel room. Give these five quick travel workouts a try!

 

3-Move Hotel Exercise Routine

 

Focus on your glutes with this three-move workout:

  • Step Squats
  • Single-Leg Glute Bridges
  • Curtsy Lunges with Side Kick

Do 12 to 15 reps of each exercise on both sides. Then, rest for 90 seconds. Complete this circuit four times.

 

10-Minute Full-Body Hotel Workout

 

Want to focus on more than just your glutes? This full-body workout takes just 10 minutes! Since it’s a low-intensity routine, you won’t break much of a sweat, which is good news if you’ve already gotten ready for the day. Here’s what to do:

  • Bodyweight Squats
  • Pushups
  • Side Plank (switch sides halfway through)
  • Alternating Standing Oblique Crunches

Do each move for two minutes, followed by a 30-second rest.

 

20-Minute Cardio Circuit

 

If you have a little more time on your hands and aren’t afraid to get sweaty, try this 20-minute cardio circuit from your hotel room:

  • Jumping Lunges
  • Wall Sit with Hands Up
  • Jumping Squats
  • Plank

Do each move for one minute. Then, rest for one minute. Repeat the circuit four times.

Start each day on your vacation with these 11 beginner yoga poses. The entire workout takes about 20 minutes to complete:

  • Plank
  • Three-Legged Dog
  • High Lunge
  • Warrior II
  • Peaceful Warrior
  • Warrior III
  • Chair
  • Standing Forward Bend
  • Chaturanga
  • Upward Facing Dog

Hold each pose for 30 seconds and complete the entire sequence four times. Try to flow smoothly from pose to pose to build momentum and get your heart rate up.

 

20-Minute HIIT Travel Workout

 

Take your vacation exercise routine up a notch with high-intensity interval training (HIIT). This combines cardio and strength training into a rapid-fire workout lasting 20 minutes. You’ll work up a sweat fast, so be ready! Here’s what to do:

  • Pushups (x8)
  • Sumo Squats (x8)
  • Burpees (x8)
  • Mountain Climbers (x8)

Do pushups at a fast, high-intensity pace for 20 seconds, followed by 10 seconds of rest. Repeat eight times. Rest for one minute, and then move on to sumo squats. Continue down the list until the circuit is complete.
