It’s that time of the week again…Workout Wednesday!
I’ve been traveling the last 3 days for work and being couped up in a hotel room has been a nice little reminder that I do not have the desire to be a road warrior. Props to all you wonderful ladies who literally travel for work for a living–I have no idea how you handle it, but way to kill it! ๐ Anyway, with the sad excuse for a gym my hotel has and the fact that with only 3 cardio machines, fitting in my normal morning workout routine has been basically impossible. I love to try out new gyms & boutique classes when I’m in a different city but unfortunately I didn’t drive on this trip so I’m without a means to get somewhere! Because of that, and because I have a really good sized room, I’ve instead resorted to some good old bodyweight workouts that won’t disturb the neighbors below. No equipment and minimal space is required from 5 of my favorites {3 of which I did this week!} from the web. I set up my laptop on the desk, cleared out the end table and shifted the couch a bit and was all set!
ย Tone It Up’s ‘Love Your Body with HIIT‘
An oldie but a goodie! I double-dipped on this routine this morning and got a nice, 40 minute sweat session in. Despite the simple moves, I definitely felt it which is a great sign.
Pumps & Iron’s ‘Small Space AMRAP‘
Lucked out with getting an open treadmill on Tuesday morning so I did a quick 2 mile jog and then headed back up to my room to knock this AMRAP routine out. I like how there is a lot of ab work incorporated in these moves but that it doesn’t include any traditional ab moves.
PopSugar’s ‘Barre Abs‘
I’ve done this quick 10-minute video the last two nights before bed and believe me, I’m thrilled it was only 10 minutes. My abs were feeling major burn after!
Shape’s ‘Ultimate Hotel Room Workout‘
I’ve used this workout during previous travels and it’s a great option for a total body workout with no equipment. I usually complete it 3x through for maximum effect. If I have my interval timer with me, I set it so that I’m resting minimally between moves and sets.
Yoga with Adriene’s ‘Dorm Room Yoga‘
It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with Adriene and all of her amazing yoga videos. This one is my go-to on the road because it’s great for opening up after being cramped in a car or on a plane. 30 minutes and you feel completely refreshed & rejuvenated.
For those of you that travel regularly or even live in a small space, how do you fit workouts in?! I’d love to hear more ideas and workouts that I can incorporate into my next work trip! ๐
These are awesome! I’ve been looking to try a new workout for a while. I get stuck just doing the elliptical.
Thanks for posting.

Great ideas! I live in a small place and I try to do YouTube workouts. There are several videos out there that don’t require anything, but a Yoga mat!
