If you travel for business or pleasure it usually means an interruption of your normal fitness program and eventually your diet, too. The result is not only the missed workouts, but you might even come back with carrying extra pounds as your “baggage”. It is frustrating if you are just making progress of losing the last belly fat and to show a great looking six pack. However, there are options for exercising in your hotel room or if possible in the hotel gym if they have one.
Last year I traveled to Alaska for business and luckily the hotel I had booked had a small gym and even a small pool. All it took was some discipline to get up earlier than necessary and to hop down into the gym to workout. I was also able to do lower ab workout inside my hotel room at night after a long day of work. And the last key to maintain my weight and to stay fit was to eat in moderation which was the most difficult part. Alaska has a lot of great food to offer.
So, what are some easy to do lower ab exercise for when traveling? I think the following ab exercises will work well for you. All you need is a little space to lay down on the floor of your hotel room. Hotel beds tend to have extra layer of blankets and so you can use one of those to make the floor a little bit more comfortable.
Alternating Leg Walks: Begin this exercise by lying down on your back. Now placing your hands under your bottom, and take a couple of deep breaths. Now contract the lower ab muscles and lift your right leg up slowly (think slow motion speed), until it is up in a 90 degrees angle. Now lower it back down in the same speed that you used before when raising it, but keep it a few inches above the floor, while now simultaneously raising your left leg and doing the same exercise with your left leg. Do several repetitions – preferably 15-20 for each leg. Add-on Part for this exercise: Try to raise your head and shoulders of the floor during this exercise.
Double Leg Lifts: Begin this exercise by lying down on your back. Place your hands placed under your bottom. Have the palms facing the floor. Now to contract your lower abdominal muscles by lifting both legs straight up vertically slowly (again, think slow motion speed). Hold them up for a few seconds. Then lower them down until they are a few inches off the floor, and hold your legs there for a few seconds. Repeat 10 times, then take a short break before doing another set of 10. To speed up ab muscle development, you can increase the number from 10 to 20 over time.
There you have it – 2 extremely targeted lower ab exercises that you can do in your hotel room while traveling. And remember, to train your abs it only takes 5-10 of targeted ab exercises daily. This should help you to stay fit at least a little bit and to continue making progress get a set of nice looking ab muscles.
