Losing fat while you’re constantly going from one business trip to the next is tough. Especially in this economy where you need to work harder and longer to make the same amount of money as you did before, and don’t have the time and money to get in a great, fat burning workout.
Well, that’s what you think. In reality, you can easily get a great fat burning workout without using weights. And you can get this fat burning workout in an extremely short period of time. Lets first focus on how to workout without weights. Well, I’m sure you’ve heard of the basics: pushups, pullups, and squats.
These basic movement are great, but they fail to take into account the full needs of a busy traveler, such as yourself. You see, as a busy traveler who’s constantly on the go you need to perform exercises that gets you moving faster, and boosts your energy level so you can focus better on your work.
Re-Learning how to Work Out
I recently came across a great bodyweight training resource called Bodyweight Exercise Revolution. This amazing program, developed by Coaches Adam Steer and Ryan Murdock, features some of the most unique bodyweight movements I’ve seen.
I’ve literally been re-taught how to workout. And I’m going to pass that knowledge onto you. First of all, the movements that you choose need to multi-dimensional. After all, you have very little time on your hands. So, if you can target 3-4-5 or even 6 muscle groups at the same time, then you can get a full body bodyweight workout in an extremely short period of time.
The second thing I learned was how to organize my workouts. Bodyweight Revolution workouts incorporate something known as interval training. This is where you perform an exercise for a short period of time (30-60 seconds) before moving onto the next exercise.
Best Workout without Weights
Coaches Adam Steer and Ryan Murdock have a lot of great workouts. Here is my favorite workout, and one you can do easily in a hotel room:
Perform as a circuit:
* CST Side Ground Engagement, 30 seconds
* CST Quad Squat, 30 seconds
* CST Dog Burps, 30 seconds
* CST Jump Squats, 30 seconds
Start off with 3 rounds, and build up to 10 rounds. Non-stop. Each circuit is 2 minutes long, so a 10-round workout would take you only 20 minutes. Once you’re able to perform 10 straight rounds, it’s pointless to keep adding rounds or increasing the time intervals.
Instead, seek to make the workouts harder. For example, you can combine the dog burps and jump squats into one movement. Or, you can add in a pullup in between (if you have access to a pullup bar). There are many bodyweight exercises you can choose from.
