NYC.
It all seemed like a good idea from the comfort and quiet of my home office with Sev at my feet. I thought I would feel more adventurous in real life. Turns out I feel like a fish out of water.
I live in a city of a million, but NYC is on another level entirely.
Hannah and I planned on taking the train to Long Island to visit friends. The time change of two hours had us behind from the start. I whipped over to Starbucks and brought back coffee and opted for a hotel room workout while Hannah got showered up. (I woke up early to work on my laptop. I have anxiety if I can’t get in a couple hours of work and would prefer to forego sleep to stay on top of things.)
Hannah had a bit of a surprise when she looked out of the shower to see me hanging from the door jam. The shower condensation didn’t help my tenuous grip, but I found I could brace my feet on the sides of the frame a little for a little support.
She told me that she ‘didn’t read the fine print‘ when it came to traveling with me.
I always have my jump rope with me and our room had a huge high ceiling so I was in luck there. I pretty much hit legs, core and upper body push/pull muscles with this one.
I wanted to make sure we had a full day of adventure so this 15 minute workout in the room was just enough for the day:
Set your timer for 45/10
- Jump rope
- Prisoner 1 1/2 squats
- Spiderman push ups
- Door jam pull ups (or wall sit stick ups if this isn’t an option)
3-5 rounds (depending on how anxious your traveling companion is to get out exploring)
A little sweat, a shower and we were off.
I know you probably think I’m a little crazy (heck, my own daughter rolls her eyes at me), but the fact is, I spent 15 minutes moving and then I could enjoy the day. There’s ALWAYS a way to fit in something.
If you need a plan, Challenge Jump Rope is a really great one to use when traveling. All you need is your jump rope for most of the workouts, they’re simple (to follow) and under 20 minutes.
I also wanted to mention that I’ve just reviewed my friend, Nate’s plan called ‘Feast Your Fat Away’
You’ll NEVER go to bed hungry…
You’ll NEVER lack energy, suffer from “brain fog”, or feel old before your time…and
