If you travel often for business, you know how easy it is to fall out of your regular workout routine. Spending more time on the road takes you away from your gym, your home, and your neighborhood. No matter where you regularly work out, you might find it far more challenging when you’re in a hotel most of the time. Fortunately, there are several in-room workouts you can perform that are not just easy to do, but will also help you stay fit. Here are three.

What Are Some Workouts You Can Do in a Hotel Room?

1. 40-20 Intervals

Break down your workout into 40 seconds of exercise and 20 seconds of rest. Begin the first round with push-ups, rest for 20 seconds, then squat for 40 seconds, then rest for 20 seconds, do burpees, rest, do crunches, rest, and finish with marching or light jogging in place. Remember not to be too forceful in your movements, as you don’t want to disrupt the guests downstairs. This is a good workout to break up the monotony of a business trip.

2. Hip Lunges

If you want to give your core and lower back a solid workout, try hip lunges. Perform these by keeping your hands on your hips and your feet apart. Bend your knees just slightly while maintaining a straight back and a tight core. Then, slowly move your body down and back up. Repeat this step 10 times to complete a set. 

3. Bicycle Crunches

Keeping your feet at least at a shoulder-width distance from one another, place your hands behind your head and keep your elbows extended outward. Begin the exercise by lifting your right leg upward as you twist your left side in the opposite direction. 

As you do this, unite the other knee with your elbow. Then do the same with the opposite side, alternating to give your obliques and your core the ultimate hotel room workout.
