What do you do when you have no gym?

I’m away again from the gym for the the next few weeks, might be able to get a through sessions in but won’t be able to stick to my normal routine. So if you’re in the same position what do you do? Well here are a few tips which will hopefully help you out. 

  1. Make sure you keep your diet on track. I’ve mentioned this in previous blogs but this is crucial. Just because you can’t train efficiently does’t mean your diet should go down the pan. 
  2. Your body is your gym!! There are so many things which you can do with your own bodyweight and this is all functional movement as oppose to hitting the dumbbell rack. Press ups, squats, pull ups (If you can find a bar) crab walks, planks are all your friends when it comes to you having no gym. 
  3. Tempo of exercises is crucial in any part of your training but even more important when it comes to bodyweight. This will recruit more muscle fibres, furthermore everyone knows that time under tension is the way forward when it comes to building lean muscle mass. 
  4. Quick high intense circuits. When you’re away you don’t have loads of time to dedicate to the gym, so get you’re workout done hard and fast. Early mornings are always great for this, wake up 30 minutes earlier. Then you have no excuse. 

HIIT Circuit

10 press ups 5010 tempo
20 squats
10 Hindu Press ups 5010
20 v sits
10 press ups 2250 tempo
20m crab walk.

Repeat 5 times
