Travel Hack: Workouts on the Road
I'm in Philly! Well, I'm not in Philly right now while writing this post, but I am in Philly right now when this post is getting posted, so it's basically the same thing. Either way, I am getting my workouts in while on my vacation!
Working out is very important to me and it helps me keep my anxiety in check by burning through a lot of my excess adrenaline. It keeps me chill, as I like to say. That said, sometimes it can be a challenge to get workouts in while on vacation and even harder if like me, you don't enjoy running. So instead of running or wasting time finding a gym for a 4 day trip, I am doing some HIIT workouts!
Most weeks I do at least 2 HIIT Cardio workouts at home, but I have added an Arm and a Leg HIIT workout for the sake of full body gains. I am sharing these three workouts below, along with an additional Beginner HIIT circuit. Unless otherwise noted these should be cycled through 3x each with 30 seconds on each exercise and 30 seconds rest between each exercise. Plan for about 30-45 minutes each.
