Travel workouts with no gear?

[kathryn]

I'm going to a conference tomorrow, and will be spending 4 days away from my weights, step, etc. I know the hotel probably has a small workout room, at least, and I can figure out some exercises to do in the room...but here's the catch: I don't want to check any luggage, so all my "stuff" (presentation handouts and props as well as my clothes) has to fit in one carry-on. I just have room for my conference wear, and NO room for workout shoes or clothes.

Any ideas for a workout I can do in my underwear with no shoes on--so no impact (I plan to do it in my room...just in case you're wondering :+ ).

Cathe just posted a travel workout guide - you'll have to modify since some of the exercises require dumbbells.

HTH!

Last summer I bought an exercise bar and some bands( from Spri Products) to take to our cabin when we'd go. The bar comes apart so I could fit in the suitcase. I found the bands to be just as tough as taking along dumbells ! Susan

Do you have any good power yoga videos. That would be the ticket. If they had a vcr in your room of course. Try this next time though.

Thanks for the replies.

It's obvious that my situation wasn't quite made clear. I have ABSOLUTELY NO ROOM in my luggage for anything else but what I am already taking (some few clothes and presentation material). NOT a pair of shoes, NOT a video, NOT any kind of band or bar or weight device.

I'm leaving later today. When I get back, I'll let you know what I figured out! Since I did ME yesterday, and I can get in a workout on Saturday when I get back, maybe I'll just go with active rest (walking everywhere and using stairs).
