Basically a variation of a lunge. Face away from the chair and place the rear non-supported leg on the chair, so the top of the foot is against the pad. Adjust the distance from the chair so you can descend downward comfortable on the supporting leg. If you go deep enough, sets of 15 – 20 for each leg for 5 sets will be more than enough to work the glutes, hams and thighs. I have been able to maintain strength and mass for a few weeks this way. Hope this helps the next time you travel. My favorite traveling leg exercise only requires a chair and determination. Basically a variation of a lunge.

I believe the exercise was popularised by kickboxer Bill 'Superfoor' Wallace. Also, if you have a heavy enough bed post to use, wrap a towel around it and perform towel rows - you just need to find the right angle. Of course, you've probably been and gone travelling now...but it might help for next time! You might also want to consider door pullups - simply hang of the door and pull yourself up!

When traveling I like to do the tried and true exercises the Army has taught me. Pushups (wide, close grip, regular, and elevated off the bed) and situps (using the bed for a foothold or elevated). Jumping Jacks or knee benders (bodyweight squats) between sets are always good at keeping the heart rate elevated. Flutter kicks and legs raises work the core great as well. If the place has a pool I swim laps as well. I'm still struggling to understand why more hotels don't have weights but I believe I assume it has something to do with insurance/injury reasons. Some folks just might hurt themselves and then try to find the hotel at fault. Cardio equipment is less apt to cause those injuries. I have seen a couple hotels with cable machines that can hit the majority of body parts and I think that is a good compromise. Have fun at your event!

You should not change yourself so much that you don't feel comfortible really then you won't be able to be as sexy as you are. Ppl told me i got to big in iraq when i went home on R&R and i should trim down but thats just not me i wouldn't feel right being skinny with just a six-pack. I feel healthy and in the best shape i have ever been. Anyways you look great and keep it up. I think plenty of good jobs will come your way. I agree with Stormiorsini.
