In a Bind? Use Bands.

Greetings!  This has been noted before, and I believe it warrants mentioning again. You can complete a very efficient workout anytime and anywhere using a resistance band. I've used one with a circuit style training routine in very small hotel rooms, in bad weather and at 3:00 am in a city park. When Shannan and I traveled to Cusco, Peru I did a three set resistance workout using a band as my body adjusted the high altitude. That proved wise. I was able to get acclimated enough to the over 11,000 ft. elevation to enjoy both tourist activities and jogging the following day. 

Last week Shannan and I exercised in our third floor hotel room. This is another benefit of the bands, they don’t create noise to bother other guests (Also, they take up little room in a travel bag). The funny thing is we stayed in a hotel close to the airport in a community where we lived for 10 years. I really miss running in that neighborhood. Shannan didn’t share my nostalgia or enthusiasm for jogging at that early hour.
Our workout went smoothly. Immediately following, we took off for a tremendous extended weekend in Chicago. 
When you can’t run. Use Bands.
