As promised I’m sending you some of my favorite fat burning workouts that require minimal equipment. This morning’s workout actually required NO equipment at all since I still have a house guest that has taken over my workout room (and my refrigerator, but that’s a different story for a different day). Now, I must give credit where credit is due. The workout I did this morning was given to me by Craig Ballyntine, Men’s Health Contributor and the author of Turbulence Training

I had the pleasure of meeting Craig at a few different Fitness and Nutrition conferences this year. Since I consider him one of the “best of the best” in the industry, I asked him if he could write me a workout. Not just any workout but one I could do in my hotel room. I explained to him that I would be traveling a lot but wanted to do a workout that was quick and would still kick my butt. Oh, and it couldn’t require any equipment. Now instead of telling me to leave him alone, he very generously gave me 2 workouts: one I could do in my hotel room and one I could do in the hotel gym. He was right. They both were “kick butt” and left no room for the excuse “I don’t have a full gym to go to.” Here I’ll pass them on to you.

15-minute hotel gym superset workout

A1) DB Split squat – 10 reps each leg

A2) DB Chest press – 10-12 reps

B1) DB Row- 10 -12 reps

B2) Stability Ball Leg Curl - 8-10 reps

I repeat each superset 2-3 times and then finish off the workout with intervals on the bike or treadmill. (If I’m at home, it’s always on my spin bike.)

Bodyweight Circuit in Hotel Room (exactly what I did this morning):

Prisoner Squat – 20 reps

Close grip Pushup – 20

Forward lunges – 15 reps per side

Mountain Climber – 10 per side

Split Squats – 15 reps per side

I completed this circuit 5 times this morning. When I first started doing it a few months ago, I could only get through 3 times but I’m now up to 5 and I swear my legs and shoulders are definitely leaner since incorporating this workout into my routine. There you go. Another 2 workouts to add to your list of great workout routines. I still have so many other favorites that I will be sure to share with you tomorrow.
