Thoughts of the holidays usually entail visions of delicious homemade food and conversations with loved ones. Traveling during the holiday season is common as well, and while it's difficult to substitute a complete workout in a hotel room away from home, here are a few exercises which require little to no equipment. This short program will keep your heart rate up! Be sure to properly warm up and stretch a bit before engaging in any activity.
1. Begin with 15-20 pushups using a normal width (hands shoulder width apart). Rest for 45 seconds, and do another set. Rest 60 seconds and move to the next exercise.
2. Do another 15-20 pushups, however place your hands wider than shoulders to emphasize more of the exercise on your chest. Rest 45 seconds and do another set. After a 60 second rest, it's onto the next exercise.
3. Using a large phone book, place one hand on the phone book and the other on the floor. Do 10-12 pushups and switch sides. Rest 60 seconds and repeat.
