Travel Workout #1 for Any Fitness Level!

Hey guys! I’m going to start sharing quick and accessible workouts once a week that anyone can do on vacation. Sometimes the issue isn’t whether or not you have equipment or space available – more often than not the issue is that people feel like they lack direction on vacation and end up just doing nothing. I hope to provide some structure through workouts that can be done for all levels in any environment! 

Workout: Tabata Madness! 

Level 1: 

This level is great for anyone who has no equipment available on vacation – in other words, it’s all body weight. This is also a great option for someone who might lack the confidence to go to a hotel gym and work out around others. This can be done in the privacy of your hotel room or AirBnb! 

8 rounds (8 minutes total): 

20 seconds of air squats 

10 seconds of rest 

20 seconds of mountain climbers 

10 seconds of rest 

Rest 1-2 minutes (as needed to keep intensity high) 

8 rounds (8 minutes total): 

20 seconds of jumping lunges (could do reverse lunges if jumping is an issue) 

10 seconds of rest 

20 seconds of V-ups (can do single leg V-ups if both legs is too advanced) 

10 seconds of rest 

Rest 1-2 minutes (as needed to keep intensity high) 

8 rounds (8 minutes total): 

20 seconds of push-ups  

10 seconds of rest 

20 seconds of sit-ups (can do crunches if the sit-up is too advanced) 

10 seconds of rest 

Level 2: 

This is an intermediate level for those who have minimal equipment available. This workout will require only one dumbbell – most hotel gyms have dumbbells and this workout won’t take up much space in your hotel gym! 

8 rounds (8 minutes total): 

20 seconds of dumbbell goblet squats 

10 seconds of rest 

20 seconds of mountain climbers 

10 seconds of rest 

Rest 1-2 minutes (as needed to keep intensity high) 

8 rounds (8 minutes total): 

20 seconds of goblet reverse lunges 

10 seconds of rest 

20 seconds of V-ups (can do single leg V-ups if both legs is too advanced) 

10 seconds of rest 

Rest 1-2 minutes (as needed to keep intensity high) 

8 rounds (8 minutes total): 

20 seconds of push-ups  

10 seconds of rest 

20 seconds of sit-ups (can do crunches if the sit-up is too advanced) 

10 seconds of rest 

Level 3: 

This option is more advanced and would require previous workout experience. I am a CrossFit athlete, so some of the terminology I use might be CrossFit specific, but the movements are universal and you do not need to do CrossFit to be able to do this workout! The Level 3 workouts will sometimes require more equipment/space available, but for today you only need to have two dumbbells handy to do this workout!  

8 rounds (8 minutes total): 

20 seconds of dual dumbbell front squats 

10 seconds of rest 

20 seconds of mountain climbers 

10 seconds of rest 

Rest 1-2 minutes (as needed to keep intensity high) 

8 rounds (8 minutes total): 

20 seconds of dual dumbbell suitcase walking lunges (could also do reverse lunges if space is an issue) 

10 seconds of rest 

20 seconds of V-ups (can do single leg V-ups if both legs is too advanced) 

10 seconds of rest 

Rest 1-2 minutes (as needed to keep intensity high) 

8 rounds (8 minutes total): 

20 seconds of dual dumbbell push-ups (hands are on the handles, meant to create a deficit) 

10 seconds of rest 

20 seconds of weighted sit-ups (one dumbbell at your chest) 

10 seconds of rest 

I hope this helps! Please contact me if you have questions about how to perform a movement, how the timing works, etc. Your health is your priority – even on vacation!!
