Traveling and want to exercise? Here’s what you can do!

HOUSTON – Getting in good workouts doesn’t mean going to a gym with heavy equipment all the time, Erica Hood, founder of HoodFit, said you don’t even need equipment!

“You literally can be in your hotel. You could be poolside, anywhere, and just get some movement in because you’re going to feel so good after moving,” Hood said.

Back lunge + jump

A fantastic move to work your legs and get your heart rate up.

Lunge back. Jump up. Step your feet together.

Tricep dip + toe tap

This exercise targets your triceps and core. It’s a simple yet effective move to keep you toned while traveling.

On a mat, dip down. Cross one arm across your body to touch the opposite toe.

Three pulse squat

Squat down. Pulse three times.

“We’re going to start at the back of our mat. We’re going to do some squat walk. So, we’re going to walk it to the front... and we’re just going to go up down. And then we’re going to walk it all the way back,” Hood explained.

Add water bottles

If you’re traveling or on the go, you can look for items you can use to add resistance (like water bottles).

“If you don’t have weights, you can use water bottles. Those work great, and you’d be surprised at how fast your muscles start firing up from just using water bottles or something that you have,” Hood said.

All of her workouts range in time from 10, 20 to 30 minutes so you can do them on their own or pair them together. Try 1 month FREE membership + a 14 day FREE trial when using code: TRAVEL4FREE when signing up on the Hoodfit website. Offer expires on June 30th.
