I trave a decent bit to crappy hotels for weekends (I'm a club sport coach on the side). If you've got a touch or iphone with you on the trip, I highly recommend Nike Training Center: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nikewomen-training-club/id301...

They say it's slanted towards women, but it works great for me and I'm a fairly fit dude. Lots of workouts in both variety and length, and very little need for equipment. And it does a decent job of tracking you and rewarding you as you go.



How does the "lots of workouts" work out for you?

I tend to find that the more types of workouts I include, the harder it is to make a routine. So it's easier for me to pick a small set of exercises (pushups, pullups, dips, lunges, squats, etc) and do them repeatedly rather than trying to switch up workouts.

Could just be me though...


I think I'm somewhere in the middle of you two...

My results are always best when I design three complete body workouts, then alternate them every three weeks. I find that this keeps my routines feeling fresh (since I never do a single one for more than three weeks). And most importantly, it helps motivate me when I come back to a routine (after six weeks on other routines) and discover that I am stronger!
