Macgyver Workouts...On the GO!

Q: What do I do when I'm on the road and don't have access to a gym?

A: Do what Macgyver would...get creative and figure something out. No, you don't need a shoelace, straw, and bar coaster to solve this puzzle. There are all sorts of bodyweight variations that you can do with even the smallest amount of space.

-Bodyweight Squats
-Planks, Side Planks
-Push-ups
-Step ups on a chair
-Lunges in all directions


Macgyver says, "Of course I do bodyweight squats."


...and that's just the beginning, way more progressions follow. So Macgyver your workout when you're on the go and you can still keep up with your fat loss. IF you're more advanced you can have nice feeder workouts that will stimulate your metabolism if you're trying to gain some muscle--how many can do a one handed push-up, or multiple sets of high rep chin-ups?

Be creative, there are endless resources out there that you can use to find bodyweight exercises that fit your needs when you're on the go.
