Another Terrific Travel Workout!

Hey everyone,

This past weekend, Tannys travelled to Toronto for work, so she modified her usual workout routine.  As she did not have much time, she put together a fairly short (but very demanding) workout that she completed in her hotel room.

For this workout, all you need is a sturdy desk (or piece of furniture that you can lie beneath and pull yourself up towards) and a chair.  Alternatively, if your hotel has a gym, you should be able to find suitable equipment to use there.  Tannys completed two ladders, each comprised of two different exercises.  She started with 10 reps and worked her way down to 1.

The brief videos below demonstrate reps 3, 2 and 1. Here is what she did:

Ladder 1

1. Reverse Pushups 
2. Feet-elevated Pushups

 

 

Ladder 2 - (This video is cut a bit shorter to allow it to be downloaded)

1. Burpees
2. Sleeping Crabs - Tannys did both a right and left-sided rep as one count, but you could also just do one side per rep (making sure you complete equal reps on each side).

 

This workout seems short, but it was intense!  We suggest starting with the reverse pushup/pushup ladder first, as the burpee/sleeping crab ladder was exhausting! Give this a try on your next trip and let us know how it goes!
