Resistence Training on the Road



Watch on your mobile device >>

With summer now officially here and lots of people taking their vacation time to travel it is tougher for most people to make it into the gym or sometimes even find a gym to get in resistance training while on their trips. There are numerous exercises that you can do in your motel room or even while out camping. In otherwords there shouldn't be any excuses to not get in any resistance training no matter where you may be. The basics that can be done without any equipment at all are the standard push-ups, squats, and crunches. However, doing just these 3 exercises may be boring after awhile if you are on a longer trip.

 Every motel and camping park will have a chair, bench or picnic table to utilize to mix in a few other exercises. You can perform step-ups, dips, decline push-ups, bench jumps and many other exercises. An inexpensive and light piece of equipment to carry with your during your travels is a simple tubing band. With this you can then target all of your muscle groups while doing bicep curls, shoulder presses, squats, rows, and tricep extensions.

 If you are simply wanting to escapse from the confines of the gym during a nice summer day even if you aren't on vacation run or bike over to the nearest park and get in your workout there while performing some or all of the exercises listed above. Enjoy your summer and make no excuses to not get in your resistance training.

  2. Resistance training increases muscle strength by pitting muscles against a weight, such as a dumbbell, barbell or other type of resistance.

  3. Resistance exercise doesn't mean resistance to exercise! Instead, it's a type of exercise that has gained popularity over the last decade or so as researchers discover the many benefits it has to offer.
