Fitness Friday | 3 Workouts to do from home or while traveling. {#FitFluential}

November 26, 2011 By Emily 8 Comments

 

Hey all!

It has been a while since I have done a Fitness Friday post, but I find when I do them, I have more motivation to accomplish the goals I set write down for the week.

This week we were supposed to travel to Florida to see my father for Thanksgiving.  Turns out Squishy and a virus had other ideas.  With a temperature of 103 we were not going to be flying.

However, since I plan on traveling a combined total of over 3 weeks this holiday season, I did some research on workouts you can take with you while away from home!

I thought I would share a couple I liked and plan to use, and then a few more that were shared with me from other FitFluentials!

1. Tabata workouts. – These are 2 rounds of 4 exercises.  Each one is done for 20 seconds with a 10 second rest. Then you repeat as many times as you can muster!

Example:
Squat Jumps (20/10)
Line Jumps (20/10)
Mountain Climbers (20/10)
Jumping Jacks (20/10)
Squat Jumps (20/10)
Line Jumps (20/10)
Mountain Climbers (20/10)
Jumping Jacks (20/10)

REST 2 minutes – Repeat 2, 3, 4, 5 times.

What I love about this is you can make it exactly what you want it to be.  Everyday you do them you could do 4 different exercises, OR you could do like Scott from Your Inner Skinny did, (check out his video) and do 5 sets of something different each time!

If you aren’t creative, or don’t like to make up your own workouts, check out Bex Life tabata videos on youtube.  She has a great bunch of what she calls You HAVE 4 Minutes.

2. BodyRock.tv – DUUUDE, this site is kick a$$.  I am new to it, and still trying to figure out where to start, but I had planned on checking out some of their workouts on vacation.  What I wouldn’t do for a body like Zuzana…

From home workouts to food & diet information, I can’t even begin to tell you the wealth of information you can find here!

3. Pinterest – YES! Pinterest!  This site never stops amazing me.  Just when I think I have it figured out, I find another reason to use it.

I did this Jump the Jiggle Off workout on Thanksgiving.  While it was a little much for my shin tendonitis, it was still an awesome 19 minute sweat fest!

I found this on Pinterest - but it didn't have an original source info on it - if this is your workout - YOU ARE AWESOME!

How do you get your workout in while traveling?

    I came over here from the ‘blog hop’ and I’m impressed with the content! I’ve always said that you don’t need a ton of fancy fitness center equipment in order to get a good workout. I participate in a boot camp program that reinforces this idea. (similar to the Tabata workout in your post). Good work! Looking forward to seeing more!

      Hey Thanks Lani!
      I am struggling to find one that is kind to my shin… I took boot camp earlier this year and developed tendonitis in my shin. I am a bit stubborn and haven’t really backed off of it. Tabata always kills it, but it is such an effective quick workout. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

    Before I was so into the internet, I used to bring my DVD player and DVD’s when I traveled! Can you believe it? Now there are lots of workouts like this that you can do, and when I say you, that’s what I mean. 😉
