working out while traveling???

Shattered Posts: 10 Joined: 2002/08/27	2005/08/29, 10:32 PM Ok Ive asked this here before, a few monthes ago but didnt get any good responses. Im in a band and constantly tour, for example we leave this week and are gone till dec. While on the road its not really practical for me to find a gym every day. Ive been doing pushups and crunches ( while on tour, at home i workout regularly ) but I want to maximise what i have while im on the road. Should I be trying to do a full body workout, 1 - 2 core exercises for each body group every day? or should i still try and break up the days even tho all i really have is any free body exercises and 25 and 35 lb dumbells? any military or jail workout programs would be great

I don't usually work out the same(full bore), but I do get enough in to maintain. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

I travel a couple of weeks every month and very rarely can't find a motel that has some machines and many have an affiliation with a gym that's close by. If nothing else, get yourself a couple or more of the strength training bands. It's not as good as a "real" workout but you can maintain. -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.
