Hotel Workouts



Arm Curls with Power Band

Powerbands - Portable

 

 

Powerbands are those neat coloured rubber tubes with handles on the ends.  Very light and portable, these are perfect for air travel.  Mine scrunches up in the corner of my luggage.  Different colours have different amounts of tension.

Tricep Pressdown with Powerband

Powerbands - Versatile

 

Powerbands are a useful travelling workout tool.  They basically provide resistance like weights or machines would.  They can be used in countless ways to work various muscles.  Maybe not as effective as weights or machines but better than just laying back and doing thumb-presses on the remote all evening long.

Wall Sit

The Wall

Even the wall is an exercise tool.  Use it for wall-sits.  The longer you hold this position; the better.


Stationary Lunges

The Floor

Lunges are a great workout that you can do in a hotel room.


Crunches

The Bed

Tuck your feet under the bed and bang out some crunches.  This will keep your core strong.

Bench Dips

 

Coffee Table

 

Bench dips on the coffee table will keep your triceps in condition while you're travelling.

The Stairs 

Creepy Stairs



Most hotels have stairways.  Not often used in these lazy times.  Take the stairs man!  Excellent exercise.  Mind you; not all stairwells seem that nice.  Check them out before using them.  These ones were kind of creepy.  I don't feel that vulnerable so I used them anyway.

 

The Hotel Fitness Room



Hotel Gym

I judge a hotel by its fitness room.  I love having some free-weights and at least a few choices for cardio machines.  Pool and sauna are nice too.  If you're lucky and the hotel has a decent fitness room; take the time to get in a quick workout.  It may not be exactly what you'd do at home or in your regular gym, but look at it as a good change.
