Equipment Free Workouts for Your Home or Hotel Room

Being able to have quick and easy ways to get a workout in comes in handy in a variety of circumstances, the main ones likely being:

  1. Travel – you’re stuck in a hotel room or remote location where getting to a gym is either not an option, or a huge hassle.
  2. On a budget – we get it, the price of gym memberships, yoga, Orange Theory, Crossfit, you name it…can be high. There are seasons where you may not be able to swing it.

I talk in more detail about creative ways to exercise and small pieces of equipment to use in your home HERE, but if you’re short on time – it’s always nice to have some good options already written up and ready to go.

Here are a few of my go-to workouts that you can literally do anywhere: In fact, the other morning I did one of these next to my bed because I was that short on time and also had a toddler who crawled into bed next to me so I couldn’t move too far away.
