Staying fit while traveling away from Healthworks doesn’t require bulky equipment. Here are some simple yet effective bodyweight exercises to maintain strength and mobility, no matter where you are:
- Push-ups for your chest, shoulders and triceps. You can also do these in variations, including a wide grip, diamond or incline push-ups if you have access to something raised
- Squats for your legs and core. Variations include jump squats, pistol squats or even wall sits if you need to go easier on your knees
- Lunges to work your legs and improve balance. These can be qalking lunges, reverse lunges or jump lunges for an added challenge
- Planks to strengthen core and improve posture. These can be side planks, plank jacks or even mountain climbers
- Burpees for a full-body strength AND cardio exercise
- Dips to target your triceps and chest. You’ll want to use a chair, bed or sturdy table – anything elevated that can support your weight
- Glute bridges to strengthen lower back and glutes
- Mountain climbers for a core and cardio boost
Remember to warm up before exercising and cool down afterward. Aim for 3-4 sets of 8-12 repetitions for each exercise, adjusting based on your fitness level and comfort.
