During our vacation, I worked out in our condo every day, as we were 40 minutes away from the nearest gym! Here are a couple of the workouts I did. Having an ipod with good music really helps!! Also, a timer, band a jump rope round out your portable gym (I went to Big 5 and bought all three right before the trip)
Workout #1
1. Step up and down on a low table, couch, whatever you can find (about shin to knee height) for five minutes in each of the following directions
--Facing the couch (5 minutes per leg)
--Back to the couch (5 minutes per leg)
--One side to the couch and then repeat on the other side (5 minutes per side)
2. After each 5 minute segment, do 20 push-ups and then 20 tricep dips (with hands on the same surface you are stepping up and down on) until you have done a total of 5 sets (100 push-ups and 100 dips)
Workout #2
1. Elbows on a surface about waist height and "run" with your feet for 1 minute
2. Keep elbows on the surface and do back leg lifts on one leg for 1 minute and then repeat on the other side
3. Stand up and do stationary high knee lift runs for 1 minute
4. repeat #1 and #2
5. Squat and then jump in place for 1 minute (alternate between squat and jump)
6. Repeat #1 and #2
7. Jumping jacks for 1 minute
8. Repeat #1 and #2
9. Plie squats (pelvis is tucked under, feet are wide and toes are turned out) 2 minutes
10. Repeat #1 and #2
11. Lunge switches for 1 minute (lunge and jump in the air to reverse lead foot on the lunge)
12. Jump rope for 1 minute
13. Bicep curl and then tricep kick-back with the band for 20 reps each (e-mail for instructions)
14. Jump rope for 1 minute
15. Repeat #13
16. Jump rope for 1 minute
17. Repeat #13
18. Jump rope for 1 minute
19. Plank center, left and right for 1 minute each (e-mail for instructions if needed)
20. Crunch for 2 minutes twisting corner an alternating corner to corner
Repeat 19 and 20 a total of three times each
