When you are out of town traveling, you are concerned about missing your work-outs and eating crappy foods...So you must plan ahead for both
(apples and almonds snacks for eating while flying or driving)...and a bodyweight exercise program without lugging your weight lifting equipment
along with you on the road...
And while I have bodyweight exercises works just as hard as the weight lifting equipment in one of my bodyweight workouts,
today we'll concentrate on replacing intervals with bodyweight exercises.
To do a bodyweight exercise program that fits you...
a) Choose 3 lower bodyweight exercises
b) Choose 3 upper bodyweight exercises
c) Alternate between a lower and upper bodyweight exercises without stopping, till you are done all 6 exercises in the least amount of
time
d) Rest for 60 seconds.
e) Then repeat two or three more times until you've been working out for 20 minutes
For example, this is a great bodyweight strength training program that doesn't require any weight equipment at all:
1) Prisoner Squat (12 repetitions)
2) Elevated Pushups (8 reps per side)
3) Single-Leg Deadlift (10 reps per side)
4) Close-grip Pushups (As many reps as possible)
5) Jumping Jacks (30-60 reps)
6) Cross-Body Mountain Climber (12 reps per side)

Whew. That is a pretty advanced workout...for a beginner, we'd slow it down like this and take a few more minutes of rest between exercises
and then...
1) Wall Squat (8 reps)
2) Kneeling Elevated Pushup (5 reps per side)
3) Lying 1-leg Hip Extension (8 reps per side)
4) Plank (30 second hold)
5) Jumping Jacks (5-10 reps)
6) Side Plank (15 second hold per side)
Travel safe and always -- check with your family doctor BEFORE starting a fat burning bodyweight exercise program.
