6 Simple Hotel Room Work Out

For the guys that have to travel a lot, here is a few simple exercises you can do at your hotel room. No need to bring any specific gym tools, cause you will have all that you need at your finger tips. 

Push Ups - Suitcase
Assume a proper push up position starting on the floor by placing your hands at a distance only a little wider than shoulder-width. Now lift your body by "pushing the ground away". With your feet on the ground, try to create a straight line with your body. Squeeze your core and glutes and start lowering your body until your chest is one or two inches above the ground, always making sure that your elbows are pointing inwards and are not flared wide. 
Once you got the correct push up down, you're ready to take it one - or two - steps further. 
So grab your carry on - empty or not - place it over your back, lower towards the center of mass, near the hips and low back and start your push ups.
Adding a load engages more muscle fibers and increases the intensity of the movement, making each repetition harder, as well as intensifying the work on your core. 
Primary muscles worked: 

• Chest
• Triceps 
• Anterior Deltoids (front part of Shoulders)​

Squats/Lunges - Suitcase
First of all start with a series of body-weight squats. So, stand with your head facing forward and your chest held up and out. Place your feet shoulder-width apart or slightly wide. Sit back and down like you're sitting into an imaginary chair. Keep your head facing forward as your upper body bends forward a bit and your lower back arches slightly as you descend. Lower down as much as you can, keep your body tight, and push through your heels to bring yourself back to the starting position. Always make sure your core is tight and that your come back all the way straight up by squeeze your glutes as hard as you can. Once you got that, grab your carry on with both hands and place it on your fore arms. Start squatting. 
Primary muscles worked:

• Thighs
• Hips
• Glutes
• Quadriceps
