Surprisingly, it seems a teen-aged travel mate is opposed to public displays of exercise and sweat! Who’d a thunk? So for all those that were looking forward to another airport workout, I’m sad to report that there isn’t one this round. We had a long lay over in Seattle, but managed to go exploring downtown to pass the time rather than make a spectacle of ourselves in the airport.
I did manage to get in a workout everyday in a more traditional setting:
Day 1 and 2
I had a great set of dumb bells and bench to work with here. I used the audio tracks from my e-book to help me time myself and keep things at an intense pace. The ‘Full Body Blaster ‘ was a great way to start the day. I followed it with the ‘Waist Whittling 6 min Ab workout’ that is FREE on this page. On day 2, I still used the audio tracks, but I threw together a workout from the strength and cardio charts available in the e-book.
Day 3
In Newport Beach, the hotel gym only had cardio equipment with little space to even do body weight exercises. So I headed back to my room and used body weight exercises along with the 30/05 audio tracks to put together a quick routine:
push ups/mountain climbers/squats/squat jump/stick up (repeat 3 times)
Day 4
On the last day, I was faced with only cardio equipment yet again. I decided a day of intervals on the bike would be a great idea. I was flying home on this day, so I was happy to get a good sweat going and really blast my legs so they would be happy to rest on the plane. Check out this post for ideas on interval training.
Even though my workouts were quick (30-35 minutes), I felt much better as I started my day with a little sweat. I always come with a plan of attack when I travel. I may have a little more experience than you when it comes to training and finding things to do in different settings, but you too can have a plan of attack at home or traveling with Female Fat Loss Over Forty workouts. I’ve designed them so that you do can them in less than perfect settings. You’ll feel better all day for making the small investment in time to take care of your fitness even on holiday!

Hey Shawna, I have to say that your travel workouts really inspired (and I guess also guilt’d me) … I took a print out of your workouts with me to Cuba, and I have to say, that I’m proud to report that other than my travel days I worked out every day!! There were some cardio and weight machines in the gym but I opted most days to use the interval training times and mix up some cardio (jumping, skipping, squat jumps etc) with some ‘which way to the beach’ arm and leg moves. I also did the waist workout (although I have to say the wooden floor was not exactly very comfortable for that) and the bench workout (which I did on the overcast day on the basket ball court – to a few strange stares I’m sure!) …. Anyways thanks again for providing such useful portable workouts … hopefully the 30-40 mins each day has paid off (or at least taken away some of the ‘banana daiquiri’ guilt!) … see you Monday!!
Love to hear this Angela!! Training always makes you feel better and you really want to feel your best on the beach. I hope you fully enjoyed some of those daiquiris and we’ll see you back at camp soon!
