Workouts for the Road: Straight from your Hotel Room

Thanksgiving is almost here and the holiday season is already in full swing! All that is fun and good, but it also will mean traveling for some of us and working out while traveling can be a real chore. Personally I try not to give up my workouts while I'm traveling, but I do like to make them a little more convenient. Who really wants to spend 2 hours at some random gym that Uncle Jim used his guest pass to get them into?

When I'm traveling I usually bring some resistance bands and just workout in the comfort of my hotel room. It's convenient, quick and gets the job done. Here are some fun workouts to try next time you're on vacation:
