Intense Workout You Can Do in a Small Space

Spring Break has come and gone, and I’m not ready to get back to the real world! We were fortunate enough to be able to get away, and I’m still enjoying the relaxed routine we fell into during vacation.

Whenever I’m on vacation, I like the challenge of coming up with a small-space, full-body workout. Hotel rooms, dorm rooms or even apartments can make it challenging to work out. This is a workout I created this past week, and I really liked it. It was challenging enough that I felt like I was getting a good workout, but I was able to do it in a small area.

It’s a ladder workout. You will start with 10 reps of the first set of two exercises. After you have completed the 10 reps, you will then do 9 reps of the two exercises. You continue with this pattern until you have completed 1 rep of each exercise. Then you move on to the next duo of workout moves, and start with 10 reps of each exercise.  If you have questions or need modifications, email me or comment below!
