in Health and Weight Loss
okay, I need help, I have 15 lbs to lose and have been fit hard to get a good work out figured to lose the weight. My husband and I are on the road a lot, I mean CONSTANTLY traveling, for instance, in 10 days I will be away from home, living in hotels Etc. For about 2 months. I need some suggestions for good work out videos that I can take on the road with me. Obviously something that needs minimal ammunt of space ( think hotel rooms) and a minimum amount of equipment.
I started the 30 dAy shred this week and I think it will be good, but I worry that 20 min a day is not enough!!
In the fall I relied on going runni outside and hotel gyms, unfortunately not all the hotels had a gym, and I found that I was too paranoid about not knowing the areas I was in to go running on my ownm so have decided DVDs will be my best option...
Thanks for the suggestions guys!

    Those hotel gyms can really suck and be misleading from the pictures they advertise. I don't know if you travel to big cities or just small ones, but if it's a bigger one, having a gym membership at a national chain can help. If you have a laptop, DVD's are great for working out in the hotel room, though sometimes you have to modify and be creative with the layout of the room. I've had a few bruises from knocking into furniture. As for weight training, resistance bands are great and lightweight for packing. So is a jump rope to add in between resistance band moves for cardio.

    Crunch fitness has a lot of fun dance aerobic videos. Zumba is good too. If you have internet connection on your laptop, Hulu has alot of full episodes from exercise TV...here is a link to get you started, poke around and find something more up your alley :) Where there is a will, there is a way! http://www.hulu.com/watch/286491/10-pound-slimdown-core

    Last week I picked up a resistance band for arm and leg exercies I do at home. You can look online and print out lots of different exercices to do with them, and they are small and compact and will fit in a suitcase ! I do about 1/2 hour routine and It seems to be working out okay for days I cant make it to the gym, it's great for toning. Hope this helps ! :)
