Lose Stomach Fat on the Road

Bodyweight exercises and dumbell supersets are the best way to burn fat in a short amount of time when you are on the road.

Let's burn more fat at a hotel...

I recently did a 4 day trip to Tampa Bay, where I was busy with a seminar, but still needed to do my workouts. On Wednesday, I did dumbell swings supersetted with pushups in a fast workout that replaced my normal Wednesday workout with kettlebells.

Any type of squatting motion will burn fat fast. Just hold a light dumbell or kettlebell in both hands (or in one hand), squat down, and swing the weight between your legs behind you, then stand up and use that momentum to swing the weight up to chest height.

Be careful, and don't let the weight hit your legs or body.

Got down to the weight room later that week for another get lean workout. Supersets of dumbell chest presses (very high reps) and split squats and some other upper body stuff.

Got this hotel gym workout done in only 25 minutes. It was another classic hotel gym set-up. A bunch of relatively useless (and definitely inefficient) machines, along with a lot of cardio equipment, and then some light dumbells.

Its annoying, but when you know as many exercises as I do, its not that hard to come up with a decent hotel gym workout as long as you use the Turbulence Training principles of Supersets and intervals if you want to do cardio.

So here's a general plan on how to workout when traveling, even when you are pressed for time.

Superset two exercises in the hotel gym.

Try to pick an upper body exercise and a lower body exercise (i.e. a dumbell chest press and a forward lunge) or a pushing exercise and a pulling exercise (such as a pushup and a dumbell row). Do each exercise three times. I prefer 8 reps per set.

If you are really pressed for time, you can do bodyweight only exercises in your hotel room. A circuit of bodyweight squats, pushups, lunges and abdominal planks will use all the muscles in your body and boost your metabolism for the day.

If you are traveling and can't make it to the gym, you can still do a bodyweight workout. I did a Turbulence Training Bodyweight 750 repetition workout.

I used lunges, pushup variations, stickups, mountain climbers, and plenty of others as I trained for about 30 minutes and felt great afterward - I really benefit from this type of activity before going to the airport and being strapped into a seat for 3 hours.

Overall, 3 surprisingly good hotel workouts using bodyweight and dumbell exercises only. Goes to show you there is no excuse for letting up on your fat burning workout routine when you are on the road - even when you are really busy.

You can do supersets in the hotel gym and bodyweight exercises in your room. Don't ever say you are too busy or don't have access to fat burning workouts...you can always do something.
