20-Minute Travel WODs
Written by Nichole DeHart

One of the most frequent questions we receive from clients is ‘What should I do for a workout while I am traveling?’ This is a great question, especially since most of our clients travel often for work. My first inclination is to write down a thorough program that identifies the goals of the client, taking them through 60 minutes of movement. However, the likelihood of clients actually setting aside 60 minutes to workout in the skimpy hotel fitness room is slim to none, especially if they are traveling for work. Instead, it would be more beneficial to get quick workouts in, consistently, while traveling. Here are my top 3 favorite workouts while traveling that won’t take longer than 20 minutes:

Workout #1
Four Sets of As Many Rounds and Reps As Possible in 3 Minutes:
5 Push Ups
10 Sit Ups
15 Squats
Rest 60 seconds between sets.

Workout #2
Five Sets:
Sprint 50 meters
10 Burpees
Rest 60 seconds
(The sprint can be done on a treadmill by keeping the belt on the entire workout. Set a speed that you feel comfortable with. Be careful coming off the treadmill belt – grab the handles securely.)

Workout #3
Three Rounds for Time:
Run 400 meters
15 DB Thrusters

Take about 5 minutes to warm up before getting into the workout. Incorporate some perfect stretches, deep squat progressions, inchworms and a few other movements before you attack these workouts.

Enjoy the next time you travel and post to comments any workouts you have done while traveling!
