Simple Exercises You Can Do on the Road

Whether traveling for work or pleasure, you don’t have to forsake your workout and exercise plan. Even if you find yourself pressed for time, there are some great ways you can work your abs and glutes while away.

Exercise 1: Squats

Stand in front of any chair, make sure your feet are about hip width apart, and keep your feet and heels in a nice straight line. Attempt to sit repeatedly without actually sitting. Squats are an excellent exercise because they strengthen the front of your thighs, tone the back of the legs, and they firm your glutes.

Exercise 2: Side Bends

For this one you need a good wide stance, so make sure your feet are wider in distance than your hips. Put your hands behind your head, elbows wide. Turn your toes out a little, and then bend at the knees like a squat, but hold it. Then slowly bend from the right side to the left, moving your elbow toward your thigh. Do this for at least thirty seconds at a slow pace bending side to side. Great for slimming your waistline!

Exercise 3: Walking Lunges

Stand in place and step forward with your right foot, and then lower the left knee toward the floor. Keep those heels straight and in line with the toe. Do this by alternating each leg for at least 12-14 lunges.

Exercise 4: Bicycle-style Ab Crunches

Lying on your back, place your hands behind your head. Bend the legs so that feet are on the floor and knees are up. Then bring opposite knee to elbow, with the other elbow resting comfortably on the floor, until you switch sides consecutively for at least ten or more times.
