Let’s get real honest with each other here. Sometimes working out while traveling is just plain hard to do. But I know for me, fitting in even a short sweat session makes me feel 10x better!

One of my latest and greatest travel essentials has been a pair of Valslides. They slip easily into my carry on, take up hardly any space, and provide some variety to my a bodyweight workout routine (especially when hotel equipment is lacking).

Give this workout a shot next time you are traveling (or simply don’t have a ton of time to work with). Something is better than nothing, and this workout will get your heart pumping.

10 Min Valslide Workout (Travel Edition)

Set your interval timer for 30 seconds (if you don’t already have one, you can download the IntervalTimer app which is simple and easy to use). Spend 30 seconds on each of the below moves, and run through the circuit 4 times (ideally without stopping, though I am a fan of rest based training).

1. Side lunge (right)

2. Side lunge (left)

3. Push ups

4. Hip raise with leg extensions 

5. Mountain climbers 

Pro tip: Although I love the real deal, if you don’t have Valslides but still want to try this workout, you can do so using paper plates on carpet, or socks on hardwood. Have fun!
