Now with everyone paid off the crazy bills from Christmas it's time for a holiday, which is one of the reason why I'm writing this with you in mind. Furthermore I'm currently out in Australia for work and a, on the same position as many of you without a gym.
Firstly what your eating is the most important. Now I know your on holiday and you've got to relax therefore meaning you can eat and drink what you want, but as always do it in moderation. If you can go for the healthier option then do. Now I know how hard that can be with most countries washing salads in their own water meaning it's not the best thing to eat, trust me I know I'm struggling in India at the minute. But try and pick up the protein options and not the fried food!!!! With the alcohol side go with the lighter calorific drinks, stay away from the beers and instead opt for a gin and tonic.
Now on to the workout, if there is no gym to do your usual workout and only your room then what do you do?? You can still do a muscle building workout in your hotel room with just your own bodyweight. You can use easy exercises like press-ups, squats, dips and burpees onto advance exercises such as crab walks, ice skaters, crocodile walks and even as far as handstand push ups. So putting this all into your hotel room circuit:
20 press ups,
length of your room crocodile walk,
30 squats, crab walk length of room,
10 burpees,
15 dips.
For press ups, squats and dips use time under tension for a count of 4010. This will add that little bit more too your workout, helping with the building phase. Give this a try for four rounds, changing if needed the number of reps to your specification.
If the weather is nice and you want to get outside you can also have a get workout. Use any poles you can pull bodyweight too, eg pulls ups, or rowing movements. Use benches for dips along with bars for bodyweight skull crushers. Involve sprints, walking lunges along with squats and you'll have yourself a great workout, all using your bodyweight.
So next time your in your hotel room not knowing what to do for your phys for the day give the above a go.
