Its Hump Day which means, I share some of my workout secrets with you. Today, I am sharing how I keep up with my workouts while I am on the go. I don't travel a lot for work, but when I do, I rarely find a hotel with a good gym. I mean, Holiday Inn Express' idea of a gym, is a broke down treadmill and some random free weights. So, I have some tried and true go-tos.
I always have my laptop and iPad with me, so I have found some great apps I use.
1. Popsugar Active - I have this app and I love it. You can choose workouts tailored to your needs, like strength training, running, yoga, and cardio. You can download then right to your phone!
2. Tone It Up - I love the Tone It Up girls. I have the app and get the emails with their workouts. They have some great ab and toning workouts that I often fit into my Tuesday variation workouts and HIIT. They also have a show on Bravo! now.
3. Nike Training Club - also a great app. Has tons of workouts right on your phone anytime you need them!
4. Insanity! I have the DVDs and I downloaded them to my iPad. I use them on really cold mornings when driving to the gym seems daunting, when I need a quick, but kick your butt workout and sometimes on Tuesdays. Let me tell you, they will kick your a$$. I bought them right before my 30th birthday and have kept them in my arsenal. I also hear the T-25 videos are awesome as well. If you invest in one DVD workout, get Insanity!
I have a good amount of friends who have done Insanity and/or T-25. T-25 is probably more my speed since I do the 15 minute workout that he had on Dr. Oz and am totally out of breath by the end haha.
ReplyDeleteYou are a rock star lady. I've fallen culprit to the 'there is no gym here, guess no work out', but have become better at finding ways to work out. I'll use Youtube videos or quick circuit bodyweight stuff if I'm really pressed for time.
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about insanity, I may have to give it a try.
popsugar has great workouts! and i am a HUGE fan of the Nike app.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I'll have to check out the popsugar and nike apps; I've been to the Tone It Up page a few times.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite workout app is called "seconds" and you can create your own circuit, HIIT, Tabata or other workout. The only problem is I use the free version which doesnt save workouts so I have to build them from scrath each time, but that does keep my workouts creative and intentional so I guess it's not to much of a bummer.
I'm going to have to try the Popsugar Active! Do you use any apps when you're at the gym to help with your routine?
