chair dips Even though your gym may not be “fully functional,” there are certain ways you can tailor your workouts to get what you want out of them. Whether you’re traveling or simply working long hours, it’s important to understand that you don’t need a “fully functional” fitness facility. A recent post from That’s Fit discusses this problem, and how you can find a successful solution.

Author Chris Sparling recommends a standard 30-minute workout, comprised of stretching, walking, jumping jacks and squat thrusts. He also recommends dips, push-ups and modified squats, all of which can be performed in the comfort of your bedroom or hotel room.

I love this blog, well done. Had to comment! If you want real functional fitness, try CrossFit which I have learned to love. It is similar to what you described, with a HUGE cardio component to it. As a 8X Ironman Triathlon finisher. The endurance component is very similar.

Great post! I couldn’t agree more! Your concept of working out in the comfort of your home is great. I think those of us who don’t enjoy going to the gym or simply do not have the time and the money forget that there are options out there to help stay fit, without traveling to the gym. A healthy diet and a consistent workout routine are imperative to keep our minds and bodies healthy. The benefits of working out and keeping a healthy diet are endless. If going to the gym just isn’t for you, perhaps looking into a home gym would be a good option. This way you get the ability to do any workout that you would be performing in a gym in the comfort of your own home on ONE piece of equipment.

Thanks for this information. I love the idea of a workout that doesn’t need those heavy facilities and workout machines. Let’s keep it simple but effective. Still, the best exercise is walking.
