Hotel Room Workout

This weekend I went to Vegas for two days, and to be honest, I’m a cheapskate and didn’t want to fork over $20 to use a hotel’s gym as a guest. I hate missing a workout, so I planned for my trip. From previous trips to Vegas, I already knew I’d get enough low-intensity cardio walking around for hours. I easily walked about 6 miles each day. On Friday afternoon, after a day of walking the strip, shopping and people-watching, I came back to my room and kicked my own butt for a good 25 minutes.

Equipment:

Jumprope
Sneakers
Stopwatch
Dufflebag full of stuff to equal about 10-15 pounds, or more - depends on how light you pack. Me? I just took the bare minimum so my duffle bag was probably not more than 10 pounds.

The Workout:

I performed each exercise as described, no rest between exercises, and I timed the workout. After a full cycle, I rested the same amount of time it took me to complete it.

15 Duffle Bag Front Squats with Overhead Press
*you can do a sumo deadlift instead of the front squat if holding the bag at the chest/shoulders is uncomfortable
15 Duffle Bag Bent Over Rows
10 Push Ups with Rotation (5 each side)
Walking Lunges across the room and back (about 24 steps)
Plank for 30 seconds
Jumprope for 100 jumps
Rest, Repeat

Here are images of some of the exercises:
