Crazy schedules and responsibilities can make finding time to work out challenging. But it doesn’t have to be that way. 30 Minute Hit’s high-intensity, results-driven, 13-bag smacking, skill building, core strengthening stations fly by in just 30 minutes. No waiting for a machine, and no missed appointments. Plus, you’ll end up burning a whopping 30% more calories than your typical workout.
But what about keeping that momentum while travelling? Even though you might not have access to proper workout facilities or equipment, travelling doesn’t mean your workout has to suffer.
Adapted from the 30 Minute Hit workout leveraging boxing and kickboxing strategies, we chatted with Terri Dreger to share her full body HIT routine that she does from the comfort of her hotel room.
This routine allows you to get in a proper workout wherever and whenever using only your body weight. If you have booty bands that you travel with, you can add them to the exercises to increase the difficulty.
Shadow Boxing
Start the circuit with 30 seconds of intense shadow boxing to get your heart rate up. This involves punching and kicking while keeping your core tight.
Reverse Lunge (+ High Knee)
Keeping your heart rate up, step back into a reverse lunge. To add difficulty, when you come to straighten your body, pull the leg you brought back into a high knee, pulling it into your chest. Do 10 per side.
Side Plank + Oblique Crunch
Moving onto the floor, it’s time to fire up your abdominal muscles with 15 side planks paired with oblique crunches. Balance in a side plank position with your hips aligned, keeping your body straight. Bring your arm above your head as you keep your leg straight, then pull your knee up and arm down, connecting elbow to knee.
Mountain Climbers
Start in a plank position with your arms and legs extended. Rotating between legs, pull each knee into your chest switching from leg to leg as quickly as you can, keeping your core tight.
Single Leg Toe Reaches
Laying on your back, raise one leg simultaneously as you lift your other arm to reach towards your elevated toe, keeping both your leg and arm straight. Alternate between sides 15 times per side.
Bicycle Crunches
Crunches do a great job of burning belly fat by targeting your lower, middle, and upper abs. For 30 seconds, alternating between sides, bring your knee to your chest by twisting your torso and connecting it with your opposite side’s elbow. Your shoulders should be raised off the floor and hands behind your head.
Flutter Kicks
Finish off strong with 20 seconds of flutter kicks. Laying flat on your back, lift one leg at a time in a fluttering like motion, alternating between each leg.
Do this circuit 3 times.
