the most effective work outs

The other day I talked about the simple tips that you can do to make
any meal at any restaurant healthier, and ways to eat healthier while
traveling.

Today, I want to show you how easy it is to get short but super
effective workouts at home or while traveling (if you happen to be in hotels
often for business).

The most frequent excuse I get as to why people don't workout is
PERCEIVED lack of time. I emphasize "perceived" because it is just that...
it is a false sense of lack of time.

If your body and health is important to you, there is no such thing as
lack of time... you'll incorporate a few minutes here and a few minutes
there for full body exercises.

I don't care how busy you are, how many family or work obligations you
have, there are always ways to schedule time for yourself to fit in
workouts. For years, I used to work 70-hr+ workweeks and still always fit
in regular workouts at least 3-4x a week.

Remember I've said many times that a good workout doesn't have to be
the traditional 60 minute workout that is so common. It's all about using
the max amount of full body movements with a high enough intensity in
any given time period... even if that time period is only 5 or 10
minutes a day.

Like I mentioned the other day, my good friend Ryan Lee has developed a
unique software that even designs super-efficient 4-minute workouts
for your specific needs that actually get results... You can see what
he's come up with at...

Now back to workouts while traveling...

I know that it can be a challenge sometimes if you travel for business
to be able to get decent workouts in at some hotels.

Many hotels don't even have a gym. Some hotels only have a treadmill in
a room the size of a broom closet... And other hotels might have a
reasonable gym, but a little lacking on equipment.

In any case, there's still always ways to get in a good workout. Here
are a few options:

*Bodyweight exercises -- even if the hotel has no gym at all, you can
alternate lunges, bw squats, pushups, and ab exercises in your hotel
room. Try 15 minutes of alternating circuits between those and if done
with enough intensity, this will do the trick to keep you in great shape
even while traveling.

*Exercise bands -- These can come in handy while traveling because
they're light and portable, and can add a whole slew of exercises into the
mix beyond just bodyweight exercises. You can find exercise bands at
amazon -- http://tinyurl.com/3wj4km

*Stairs -- most hotels have flights of stairs. You can actually take 10
or 15 minutes to purposely go to the stairs and do nothing but go
up/down the stairs to get a great workout... mix up walking/running the
stairs, taking double steps... you can even mix in stairs lunges and other
similar things for variety.

*Get outside -- even if the hotel has a gym, many times it's small and
stuffy. Instead, get outside! It might be possible to find a park or
field nearby, and do 20-30 minutes of wind sprints or hill sprints mixed
with bodyweight exercises.

Maybe even bring a jump rope with you and find a smooth surface to jump
rope. Jumping rope is one of the best forms of exercise known to man,
but so few people actually do it.

*The hotel gym dumbbells -- I've noticed that a lot of hotels do have a
small set of dumbbells, but they usually only go up to a max of 50
lbs. Even if you're strong enough to use more than 50 lbs for many
exercises, this gives you an opportunity to mix up your routines and do
versions of dumbbell exercises that maybe you don't usually do or different
rep ranges with slightly lighter weights.

One of my favorite dumbbell exercises - the dumbbell squat & press...
works almost every muscle in your entire body with this one combination
move... a big time fat burner!

Well, I think that's enough ideas for today... as you can see, there's
no excuse for letting yourself get out of shape just because you travel
a lot on business or have a perceived lack of time.

Ryan Lee's software below even shows you how to combine strategic
exercises into effective workouts in as little as 4-minutes per workout...
you can choose to do these 4-minute workouts once, twice, or even more
per day depending on your preferences:
