Hotel Workout – Lower Body

Working out is not all about chest and biceps. We need to work on the legs too. Your core and arms still get in a nice workout if you are working legs, so don’t skip leg day. This is the next in our series of Hotel workouts for people on the road. This time it’s all about the legs.

Here are the pictures sent to me.

Looks like we have the following workout equipment to choose from;

  • Treadmill
  • Stability Balls
  • Bench
  • Dumbbells up to 50 lbs.

The Lower Body Hotel Gym Work Out

5-minute light jog to start. We want to keep things light because we are focused on the legs. No need to get the legs gassed before the workout.

Goblet Squat with a Dumbell 3 x 10  Hold the lower part of the squat for a 3 count on each rep. This makes it harder to do. Also, the weight you pick for the Goblet squat should be around 20% of your total body weight. Make sure your body weight is on your heels and not your tip toes or balls of your feet. Keep that back from bending as well.

Golf and Lower Body Strength:
For those who enjoy a round of golf, strong lower body muscles are pivotal. A powerful swing stems from stable legs and a firm core, ensuring precision and distance. Even walking the course, especially on undulating terrains, demands leg endurance. Incorporating lower body exercises during hotel stays not only benefits general fitness but can also give a significant boost to your golf game.
