Traveling means different time zones, pitiful
hotel gyms, and long layovers. But those don't have to be excuses for
letting your fitness routine go off course. "All you need is your
bodyweight and a bed to stay fit on the road," says BJ Gaddour,
C.S.C.S., creator of Men's Health StreamFIT.
Since the bed is softer and less stable than a box or bench, your
muscles have to work even harder to complete even simple moves, like the
stepup. You get a greater muscle activation and a bigger
boost to your
metabolism.
Turn your hotel room into a private fitness center with
this 12-minute workout from Gaddour. It's guaranteed to build muscle,
make you sweat, and rev your metabolism. You can fit it in between
meetings, bang it out before your morning shower, or complete it prior
to happy hour.
Here's how it works: Perform 30 seconds of each exercise
back-to-back. When you've completed all six exercises, rest for 1
minute. That's 1 cycle. Perform 3 cycles total. Fair warning: The
exercises will get progressively more difficult each cycle. Watch the
video above to follow along with the workout.
