This weekend, I was in Boston for a Bruce Springsteen concert. Like most people, when I am away from home, making the right food choices becomes challenging. For this reason, getting my workout in becomes a priority. The hotel where I stayed had a decent fitness center. It had a few cardio machines, dumbbells, medicine balls and a stretching area.
To make the workout easy for me, I chose a few short and varied exercises. This was my workout:
10 min jog on the treadmill at a speed of 4.5
1 set of single-leg dumbbell shoulder presses, 10 per leg
1 set of single-leg dumbbell front raises, 10 per leg
1 set of reverse lunges with a bicep curl, 10 per side
3 sets of stability ball crunches, 20 reps each
2 sets of prone iso ab (front planks), 1 min each
I finished with about 10 min of flexibility and yoga poses. This included:
2x lying hamstring stretches, 30 sec each
2x single knee to chest, 30 sec each
2x piriformis stretch, 30 sec each
2x child’s pose, 30 sec
2x cat cow, 30 sec each
This was everything I needed to accomplish a decent workout while traveling.
