SOAK UP THE LAST OF SUMMER…
…WHILE STAYING ON top of YOUR WORKOUT GAME with ladies who lift!
Your regular strength-training routine may becoming harder to maintain while trying to fit in all those end of summer plans. And while you have every intention of staying healthy and on top of your workout game, sometimes this is easier said than done.
So what is there to do?
DITCH THE ALL OR NOTHING APPROACH
“I must get into the gym for 1 hour or I might as well not go at all.” I hear this all the time. And while I too love to have no limits to my gym or workout time, this is not the mindset that is going to serve you best, especially during these busy times.
Working out is a form of self care, self love, and self respect. By putting even a small amount of time aside for yourself, time to stay committed to your workout goals, you are automatically putting yourself in a better position mentally and physically to be more present in your daily activities and enjoy your vacation that much more. Give yourself these 20-30 minutes to get out of your head and into your body and do something you know is good for you.
I am going to deliver you 3 Ladies Who Lift strength-training workouts you can do in 3 different travel scenarios. One that is full bodyweight- for the person staying in the house with no gym in sight for miles and miles. One that can be done with equipment that could fit into your overnight bag with no hassle. And one that you can complete in even the shittiest of hotel gyms.
3 for 3
Three ladies who lift strength training workouts for three different travel situations. You can complete all of these workouts FOR TIME or FOR ROUNDS. It totally depends on your preference and time allowance!
BODYWEIGHT
Set a timer for 15-30 minutes (or however much time you have!) Circuit through these movements as many times as you can in the time given.
EASY TRAVEL EQUIPMENT
My favorite piece of hassle free equipment are mini bands.
This combo pack comes with bands of different intensities, which will allow you to complete some heavy, hard movements with larger muscle groups like your legs, and hit muscle groups that aren’t quite as powerful, like your arms and core with the lighter bands.
Set your timer or pick your desired amount of rounds and complete the following mini band workout.
HOTEL GYM
Hotel gyms can range from awesome to terrible. Like a treadmill, an elliptical, and a bike hanging out on some carpet terrible. But most I have been in at least have some dumbbells. And there is PLENTY you can get done with some dumbbells.
Lateral Lunge Press out (can change to squat if desired) x8/ leg
Weighted Hip Dip x10-12/side
Tall Kneeling Curl to Press x10-12
Plank Toe touch Row x8-10/side
Goblet Reverse Lunge x8-10/side
Rear foot Elevated Single Leg Deadlift w/ row x10-12/side

Remember it is not the end of the world if you do not get your workout in. Our lives are meant to be lived and our vacations are meant to be enjoyed. These Ladies workouts are options in case you CHOOSE to workout! And if you do, I hope you enjoy!
