Maintaining

addysolari

I've worked at the gym for 3 months now but I'm going interstate for work for 4 months and won't have access to a gym. I've made some nice gains. Can I maintain this if I keep up my calories and just do high volume Body Weight exercises? I.e pullups, pushups, bridges, squats/ lunges

thanks

I personally carry a set of resistance bands and weighted best when I travel to atleast intensify body weight exercises and I seem to maintain quite well.

I'd never considered resistance bands. Always too worried they'll snap and belt me in the face. I'll have a look though. thanks

Resistance bands are a terrific idea. I never thought of them. When I travel and can't get enough steps I do stairs in the hotel.

There's also the NYTimes Scientific 7 minute workout. It's not a fun 7 minutes, but it is a serious workout. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/09/the-scientific-7-minute-workout/?_r=0

I also think this one is good:
