Traveling can be rough on our bodies. We’re eating out a few times per day, our sleep schedule is off, and fitting in exercise can be difficult. I don’t know about you, but when I think about exercise and traveling I think small hotel gym or no gym access at all.
Luckily, traveling with resistance bands can be a lifesaver! They are easy to pack and can provide quite the workout if done correctly. In fact, resistance bands maintain resistance throughout the entire exercise, and utilize the concentric and eccentric part of the exercise. This allows you to perform any exercise you would normally do with dumbbells or a machine with a resistance band. Resistance bands also allow you to move more freely than you would be able to with dumbbells, which makes for a great fitness tool for working out on the go.
So how do we put together a resistance band workout that will provide an intense workout as well as a great calorie burn?
It’s pretty simple actually. All we need is 4-5 resistance band exercises that we can rotate through to make a calorie busting circuit.
The below workout is great for targeting the lower body and can be done anywhere! Simply set your timer for between 10-30 minutes (because who has tons of time to workout while traveling?) and rotate through each exercise, completing 10 reps each, until your timer goes off. I promise you’ll feel the burn!
Note: The exercises are demonstrated using a 41” loop band, but you can also use a loop band to achieve the same results.
