hotel room workout

CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com I was once stuck in a tiny hotel room in Sydney, Australia, but still able to do a great total body bodyweight workout. And Im going to share that fat burning workout with you today so that you can workout anytime, anywhere. There are a number of reasons travellers have for skipping workouts, including not enough time, the gym isn’t open 24 hours, or maybe your hotel doesn’t even have a gym. If any of these reasons hold true, then you can easily and quickly get your exercise in with this bodyweight hotel room. I always like to start my bodyweight workouts with a squatting exercise. Now the choice is yours if you’d like to do a prisoner squat or a Y-squat. However, choose one where your arms are up in the air so as to get your back involved in the exercise as well. While performing the squat, be sure to keep your elbows back and squeeze your shoulder blades together. As you are squatting simulate the sitting-in-a-chair motion. If regular squats are too difficult, then you can always use the bed to squat down onto. Perform 10 repetitions for this exercise. Another great exercise to warm-up the body is the push-up and so you can do these for 10 repetitions. If you’re a beginner, then you can use the bed and do incline push ups. By leaning against the bed, you are taking some of the weight off, thus, making the push-up easier to perform. Unfortunately, there isn’t anything in the hotel room where you can do inverted …

The 4 hot zones of the body are the pressing muscles and the chest, the torso area, the back of the legs and the upper back area.

Put your hands up in the Y position and keep your shoulder blades back. This will work the upper back and the back of the legs. Next is elevated pushups which will work the upper chest and abdominals. Place one hand on a dumbbell or something about 4-6 inches off the floor. Doall reps on one side and then switch to the other side. 1-Leg Romanian Deadlifts are next. This is one of my favourite exercises to really get my hamstrings warmed up for squats. Stand on one leg, keeping a slight bend to it. Push the other leg straight back and feel a nice strong stretch in your hamstring and come back up. You will also use your glute when you come back up. You can use the wall for balance if you need to. Do 8-10 reps on each side. Your next warmup exercise is a Stick-Up. Keep your heels about 6-inches from the wall and press your back …

CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT www.turbulencetraining.com With Reconstruction workout C, you’ll actually be doing a 10-exercise bodyweight circuit Challenge where you go through the circuit as many times as you can in 20 minutes. The Challenge has two levels; one for beginner and one for advanced. If you are a beginner, then you will perform 10 repetitions for each exercise, whereas an advanced individual will perform double that at 20 repetitions per exercise. So, you’ll start out by placing your hands up behind you head and complete a series of Prisoner squats. Get your elbows back, squeeze your shoulder blades together, feet slightly wider than hip width apart, and then push your hips out as you squat down and then back up. Repeat. After the Prisoner squats you’ll go down to the ground for Close-Grip push-ups. So, for this exercise place your hands shoulder width apart and elbows tucked into the side. Next up are Stability Ball Leg Curls. Be sure to bridge those hips up and then curl in and out. Once you are finished doing that exercise, keep the stability ball with you as you are now going to do 1-Legged Jackknives. If you are doing 10 repetitions, that means 10 in total, so 5 for one leg and then 5 with the other. If you are a beginner or you can’t do the 1-Legged Jackknives, then just do regular stability ball jackknives. Also, these can be done with either your hands on the bench or on the floor. Now you’ll stand back up and do Diagonal Lunges. Proper form for this …

Take a minute rest and repeat this set 2 more times for a total of 3 sets. Next, you will move into a barbell squats and back extensions. Barbell back squats are next. Your legs will be a little tired from the last set, so you won’t use your maximum weight for these. With the bar positioned at chest height, step underneath it with a relatively close grip (unless you have shoulder mobility problems). Take the bar off the rack and step back with a medium stance with feet slightly wider than your shoulders. Keep your chest up, head forward and up and drop your hips down and back, then drive back up. For Back Extensions, lie down on the ball with your feet in a shoulder width stance for good support.
