Five travelling timed workouts not to miss

More often than not, a business trip or short holiday spells the end of training consistency. Push ups and pull ups make way for mohitos and margaritas. Aubergines and avocados are lost to chips and chocolate.

But it doesn’t have to be like that. With a little creativity, the hotel room can mean no more than a change of scenery. Try these workouts when you travel next. Some are more advanced than others, and may require you to scale them, but that’s ok. It also doesn’t matter if you repeat an exercise on consecutive days.

[And yes, I've done all of these in my travels so far...]

#1. 10 rounds for time:
10 burpees
20 squats

#2. 10 rounds:
10 push ups
10 sit ups
10 squats

#3. Every minute on the minute for 20 minutes:
3 handstand push ups (freestanding if possible)
15 squats

#4. 100 burpees for time (ouch.)

#5. 5 rounds:
50 double unders
15 hollow V-ups

Try them out. You can also add in or substitute exercises like back bridges, tuck jumps, clapping push ups, pistols and L-sits. Add some stretching and mobility post-workout and you’ve got yourself a training session.
