Holiday Travel Hotel Room Workout
Hey Gang – Happy “Tone it Up Tuesday!” Work travel has been crazy busy for me recently, which means I’ve had to get creative with workouts that I can do in my hotel room. I designed and tested this workout a few days ago and I really liked it. Better yet, I was able to hammer it out while listening to a conference call (wink wink).
Like most of my workouts, this one requires no equipment and blends a nice mix of cardio and strength training. Warning – there are 90 push ups – prepare to pump them out! I HATE push ups because they’re challenging, but I LOVE them because they simultaneously strengthen our upper body and core. Overall, the workout takes about 20 minutes and you can expect to burn ~200 calories. Let me know how it goes!
Enjoy staying fit on the road! xoxo, Brit
