When you travel it is more difficult to keep your wellbeing in check. It is harder to eat well and you often have to be resourceful with your workouts. You may or may not have the exercise equipment you need in your hotel gym; and often you will find these gyms lacking in equipment that is in good, working condition. Personally, I like to have exercise programs that are easy to do anywhere, any time. It is important to have a few workout routines that do not require anything other than your body weight. This way you have fewer excuses and can stay on track no matter where you are at.
I recently took part in a 30 Day Challenge that was easy to complete while traveling. You can exercise your butt, legs, arms and abs without equipment. Most importantly, I saw changes in my body that I have not been able to get with my other exercise routines. My arms are no longer flabby and are more toned, my stomach is flatter and my butt and legs look better as well. Here is the challenge if you would like to try it yourself and improve your physical health. 30 Day Challenge Each day do the designated number of each of the following exercises; squats, crunches, pushups, leg lifts (get on hands and knees and lift leg behind you, tightening the butt)
- Day 1: 20
- Day 2: 25
- Day 3: 30
- Day 4: 35
- Day 5: Rest
- Day 6: 40
- Day 7: 45
- Day 8: 50
- Day 9: 55
- Day 10: Rest
- Day 11: 60
- Day 12: 65
- Day 13: 70
- Day 14: 75
- Day 15: Rest
- Day 16: 80
- Day 17: 85
- Day 18: 90
- Day 19: 95
- Day 20: Rest
- Day 21: 100
- Day 22: 105
- Day 23: 110
- Day 24: 115

- Day 26: 120
- Day 27: 125
- Day 28: 130
- Day 29: 135
- Day 30: Rest
I started this challenge with a friend and by the time we had completed it there were over ten people involved. Having others take part and making it a group effort was a lot of fun and made it easier to complete the daily exercises when we reached the higher numbers.
