Traveling? No access to a gym or class? Short on time? You can turn your own body into the only machine you need to get a solid workout with.
If you ever find yourself asking the above questions this post is for you. Traveling and lack of time are common issues in the modern lifestyle, but they shouldn’t become another excuse to fall back from chasing your goal. One of the main rules to success is never skip training more than 2 days in a row. This being said if you’re traveling for 4 days through the week you simply cannot except this as a reason to just put your results on hold till your back to your perfect schedule.
I hear this a lot so I’m here to help. These are not your typical boring, Joe Wicks/ insta blogger ‘body weight booty’ workouts, these workouts mean business and will keep you constantly moving whilst keeping the intensity high.
Let’s Go!
