Hotel gyms have a reputation for being tiny, ill-equipped, and crowded at peak hours. Whenever I travel I always include these 3 items, my mp3 player, which has The Pit Workout converted to mp3 on it. There are 3 pit workouts, upper body, lower body and full body. I also have an eclectic selection of music for when I go for a run, a miniature deck of cards and gymboss timer. With these 3 simple tools I can workout in my hotel room, local park, beach or just about anywhere.
My suitcase also doubles as an impromptu sandbag, the hotel room chair is great for dips, hold the chair in your hands as you squat, a weight is just that, a weight. Anything that you can hold and that has weight can be used as a weight. It doesn’t have to look like a barbell and have a convenient shape in order to qualify as a weight.
If you have 6 feet worth of space, you have a place for push-ups, lunges, crunches, and the like, and the whole world is a gym if you know how to improvise.
