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)

Ballantyne's demostration of some of his bodyweight exercise
program
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.
