Seated on a bench, preferably leaning back at a slight angle pushing directly above your head. 2 seconds up, 4 seconds down. - Dumbbell Bent Over Row – 1 Arm at a time. With one hand on bench and one knee on bench, drive the elbow up to the ceiling and come down for 4 seconds. This may require a YouTube video if you are unsure – just try to ignore the horrible form! - Dumbbell Chest Press. Lying flat on your back. 2 seconds up, 4 seconds down. - Dumbbell Biceps Curl. Stand, with your feet staggered slightly. 2 seconds curling, 4 seconds lowering.   - Push-ups – Eccentric only (lower yourself for 10 seconds and then climb back up to the starting position); this will be particular tough because you are fatigued from chest press.   **Health Club Gym Strength Workout** Candidly, I really despise visiting health clubs and strength training on my own; I attempt to train in studios with great trainers while traveling. However, when I’ve been in Australia, China, Taiwan and don’t have options, this is the approach I’ll take at a standard health club. On each of these, I’ll aim for 8-12 reps and as soon as I get to muscle failure, I will always perform a “breakdown set” – I’ll reduce the weight by about 30% and try to perform 3, 4, or 5 additional reps. I would look for Nautilus or Hammer Strength machines if they are available. 1. Leg Press 2. Leg Curl 3. Leg Extension 4. Calf 5. Shoulder Press 6. Seated Row 7. Chest Press 8. Shoulder Shrug 9. Biceps Curl 10. Abdominal   **Hotel Fitness Center Cardio** The workout can be performed on a treadmill, stationary bike, on an elliptical machine, or any other stationary cardio machine.   - Warm-up for 5 minutes - Perform 6, 30-second intervals. Rest for 60 seconds between each. These should be performed at a very high level of intensity; you should feel like 35 seconds would be virtually impossible. - Perform 3, 1-minute intervals. Rest for 2 minutes between each. These should still be performed at a high level of intensity, but not the speed or pace of the 30 second intervals. - Perform 1, 3-minute interval. This should be slower yet due to the length of the interval and the accumulated fatigue from previous intervals. - Cool-down for 3-5 minutes.    Hope these help the next time you find yourself on the road and needing to get in a workout or two. **Tagged: [Stength training](https://blog.discoverstrength.com/fit-tips/topic/stength-training), [travel workouts](https://blog.discoverstrength.com/fit-tips/topic/travel-workouts), [travel](https://blog.discoverstrength.com/fit-tips/topic/travel), [workout while you travel](https://blog.discoverstrength.com/fit-tips/topic/workout-while-you-travel), [hotel workouts](https://blog.discoverstrength.com/fit-tips/topic/hotel-workouts) ### Leave a Reply Your email address will not be published.
