    Squats and lunges without a doubt. Swear by them for lifting your buttocks and toning your thighs to perfection.

    Yeeeeess. Thighs. I have those. I want less of those. :)

    I've posted this before, but seriously

    check out Tabata training. It'll more than make up for the gym. Or just get out there and run

    Agreed

    I have to agree with the previous posters. Tabata, HIIT, and resistance bands are all good things to do when you're away. It'll be more than enough for the two weeks time.

    I'll be gone 2 months... but I'm going to try the circuit training stuff, because that stuff IS certainly a workout. Thanks!

    I agree. Tabata training is great. You don't need that much time to get a good workout.

    does sex count lol

    hahah I WISH!

    I think Burpees are the best exercise you can do outside the gym, whole body work out, killer to do, little space needed. A few circuits of Burpees, squats, push ups, situps you will be fine

    Added to my list! Perfect, thank you :)

    Shadowboxing is great! It gets your HR up AND will help you tone up. Get a nice pair of 16oz gloves (or smaller if you need to stuff them in a suitcase or carry-on) and you can shadowbox anywhere you go!

    We do a small warm-up of 10-20 each of jabs, crosses, hooks, uppercuts, and then we do the same with combos of: jab/cross, jab/cross/hook, jab/cross/hook/uppercut. And in 10-15 mins, your HR is up there (depending on effort). Imagine doing it for 30-60 mins.

    GET SOME RESISTANCE BANDS TO STICK IN YOUR SUITCASE

    don't use all caps, seriously. I don't plan on buying any equipment, thanks though.

    Do you have free weights or an exercise ball? I know I've seen a lot of exercise charts on pinterest that are workouts you can do just with your own weight. Maybe try a google or google images search on that? Actually I've even seen something about making your own weights with sand and empty laundry detergent containers (for poor college students, haha). Will you have a computer? Youtube also has a lot of free workout videos on there.

    Sadly, I will have no 'net, no tv, and no gear - I'm going through my late mother's house, so we're trying to get rid of anything superfluous. BUT ! I do have pinterest/the net right now............ and I'll totally look for images! Thanks :)

    I hate, hate, hate burpees. I only like exercises that are easy to do and don't make me work too hard...
    Seriously, they are great. My trainer often gives me workouts that include running, burpees, sit ups, pushups, squats and/or lunges.

    walk/ run. i know it sounds to easy but it burns calories and well is healthy. Up hill works those areas of intrest too.

    Any form of crossfit (HIIT) workouts generally require no equipment and not much room, just a small towel is all you need.

    This is pretty simple stuff, but a killer workout within 25 min...

    AWESOME Thanks!

    Horizontal Limbo, or standing hip trusts are some of my fave.
