Bodyweight exercises that will kick your butt during holiday travel

I don’t know about you, but for me, the holidays require lots of travel and bring uncertainty to my workout routine. While I’m traveling, I try to give myself the grace to skip a workout here and there in the name of making memories with my loved ones. That said, I definitely don’t fall ALL the way off the wagon :)

Here are my go-to KB Fitt exercises when I’m in a pinch, have zero gym equipment and minimal time to break a sweat:

• Squat jumps

• Burpees

• Push-ups

• Walking lunges

• Shoulder taps

• Crunches

• Decline push-up (on a bench or couch)

• Tricep dips (on a bench or couch)

• Hip bridges

• Mountain climbers

• Downdog push-ups

• Wall sits

• Bicycle crunches

• Speed skaters

• High knees

• Wide arm push-ups

• Bear crawls

• Planks/Side planks(forearm and on hands)

• Flutter kicks

• Swimmers

• Butterfly crunches

• Reverse lunge knee ups

To create a workout of your own, pick seven exercises (a good mix of upper body, lower body, HIIT, and core.) Repeat each exercise 10-12 times, and repeat the circuit 3-5 times -- you’ll definitely FEEL. THE. BURN!

An example of a bodyweight workout is listed below (you can also find the video on my Instagram): Squat jumps x 12

• Downdog push-ups x 12

• Reverse lung knee ups x 12

• Mountain climbers x 24 (12 each side)

• Shoulder taps x 24 (12 each side)

• Russian twists x 24 (12 each side)

• Donkey kicks to fire hydrants x 24 (12 each side)
