8 Top Tips for a Hotel Room Workout
Before you can get into the hot and heavy stuff, you’ve got to warm up. Warming up essentially increases your core temperature, so your muscles loosen.
You can start by rotating between the following options:
Star jumps 20 reps
Star jumps with straight arms clapping at the top 20 reps
Jumping squats 15 reps
Push-ups 10 reps
Lunges 10 reps (per leg)
After the four to five-minute mark, repeat the following combinations for a further 10-15 minutes:
Level 1
1. Squats 20 reps
2. Push-ups 20 reps
3. Side bridge/plank 10 seconds per side
4. Sit-ups 20 reps
After you’ve completed all of the reps, be sure to do a quick 5-minute stretch to cool down. You should be sweating like a pig if you've done it right. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking ‘nobody’s watching’. By slacking off, you’re only doing a disadvantage to yourself. Pump it out as if you were in the gym surrounded by a sweaty group of jacked-up gym nuts.
That way, you can get it over and done with before you start your day, and that quick, sweaty session will leave you feeling fresh and ready to tackle your day.
8. While it’s tempting to work out in your everyday gear, be sure to wear your workout clothes when you plan on getting down and dirty. I know; this sounds blatantly obvious. But by physically layering up, you feel more inclined to get it done.
