I agree. P90x has a full hour of stretch/week on the "off" day. Add in the 90 minutes of yoga/week and its a ton more stretching that I've ever done.

I came across this site which seemed helpful:
http://nerdfitness.com/blog/2010/12/...hotel-workout/

It was good for a quick workout when I couldn't make it to the gym, but I have not been able to make a routine out of the "gymless" workout yet. Also, the rows mentioned on the blog seem rather impractical to do to me without a good bench and dumbell set.

Some of those look pretty decent. I'm finding gymless easier and easier to do!

I didn't see the rows that you were talking about....

doctor15

For level 1 he recommends "one-arm luggage rows".

I didn't find this practical because 1) my suitcase was rather bulky and awkward as a weight 2) it didnt weigh that much and 3) the only surface i had to kneel on was my bed did not serve as a good stable platform for the movement.

I was in a Marriott once, tall building, fitness center closed for the week. I had, 20 stories I think, so I grabbed the music player and went for a walk along a floor, up the stairs, along the next floor, up the stairs and continued to the top floor. Do check that the stairs allow the access and are not restricted to fire evacuation only.

Other option is if the weather is not bad (too cold or precipitation), pick a restaurant that is far away and walk to it. Usually at home a walk is about 3 miles round trip for me, so I try to find a restaurant that is 1.5 miles away (if the route is safe).

And I walk as much as possible when in the office and around town when I can. Every step helps

You can actually do a decent strength workout with zero equipment.

- Dips inbetween to chairs or something similar.
- Handstand pushups (on a wall if you cant hold handstands)
- Diamond pushups
- Pseudo Planche Pushups (Hands touch the floor around waist level
instead of shoulder lever, upperbody leaning forward a lot, VERY hard if you’re not used to it.
- Supersetting pushup variations (for example 10 Diamond PU, 10 narrow PU, 10 medium width PU, 10 wide PU and back down the ladder)
- Bulgarian Split Squats
- Pistol Squats
- Leg Raises/Dragonflags

And if there is anything stable that you can pull yourself up to…that’s where the fun begins with pullups, chinups and levers.

SkiAdcock

I travel light - one carry-on and "personal item" can last me through a three- or four week long trip, multimodal transport, etc. So I am a fanatic about taking things I find really necessary - definitely a sleep mask and ear plugs, because the airlines' are shoddy and don't work well or hold up.

For exercise, I really enjoy walking, so I travel with good walking shoes and because I have plantar fasciitis, "Superfeet green" supports. But I also like to do some resistance exercises, and I find a set of loop or stretch resistance bands with exercise cards or a light booklet with copies of exercises I want to do from a book take up little room, weigh little and are very handy to use in a hotel room. (Fair disclosure - I am approaching my seventh decade, so I want to keep fit, but I am probably not going to start my USMC routine anytime soon.)

In Hotel Room, Do Some Push-up, Dips, squats, jumping Jacks, Ab Work-out, little bit jumping jack, Pole-dancing. Yoga is also good option.

Globoclubfitness offers discounted gym memberships for business travelers. I would check out their website.

sscott77

Burpees, pushups, planks, squats, lunges.

SkiAdcock

Do you work for them? You have 4 posts & all are directing people to the company/their website.

Cheers.

First time doing this: 9:22.

My suggestion:
10 push-ups, 15 squats, 20 sit ups, rest 1 minute.
As many time as possible in 1/2 hour.
