Hi all, I’ve been lifting for about half a year and following 5/3/1 for most of that time. I will be traveling a lot for a 6-month period; at best I will have sporadic access to hotel gyms. My goal during this time is to maintain strength and work on cardio/conditioning.
And so, I am thinking that I should probably switch to bodyweight exercises, starting with the routine from Hybrid Calisthenics. I am not very strong (all 5/3/1 training maxes are 100lb or less) so I think I can make some progress with only bodyweight. When I do get access to dumbbells, I can do many of the movements weighted.
Are there any other/better options that I may be overlooking, both for the type of exercise (calisthenics) and the specific routine?
Any advice would be appreciated. TIA :)
Buying a resistance band can be great to fill in the gaps between hotel gyms. Doesn’t need to be anything fancy. Something portable that you can travel with to add resistance to bodyweight exercises. Only other tip is to superset your workout, mainly for the time benefit. I travel a good bit for work and it’s amazing how I lose track of time and skip workouts due to time limitation.
Thank you, I will look into getting some resistance bands.
