Thread: Hotel Workout plan for the Frequent Flyer

So since travel is back my job responsibilities have fired up and I’m on the road 3-5 days a week. This has put pressure on the workout plan I have because access to weight machines are not prevalent at the hotels.

For all the frequent travelers out there - what do you do to insure your workout can continue with as little impact as possible? Did you modify your workout for hotel style gyms? Did you join a franchise gym and go during the workweek?

Tips are appreciated. My gains are decent but the new travel schedule is putting the weight back on due to both eats (restaurants and such) and gym access.

Usually they have a set of dumbbells up to 50 lbs. I would use this as an opportunity to deload the heavier movements and focus on isolations and more neglected compounds, like dumbbell overhead press, lateral raises, curls, and then maybe something like goblet squats or single leg deadlifts with a dumbbell for the stimulus variety. Unless you're gone the majority of the time, this shouldn't do you any harm.

Use self limiting variations of lifts, that it pauses, extended eccentric tempos or super high rep

... and buy some bands to a) use stand alone b) put on machines or c) augment light hotel free weights.
