Bodyweight Travel Workout – Core
Traveling doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your fitness routine. In fact, it’s often a great opportunity to get creative with your workouts and try new things. One of the best ways to do this is with a bodyweight travel workout.
Bodyweight exercises are exercises that use your own body weight as resistance. They’re great for travel because they don’t require any equipment, so you can do them anywhere, anytime.
This bodyweight travel workout is focused on strengthening your core. The core is the group of muscles that support your spine and pelvis. It’s essential for good posture, balance, and stability.
Warm-up
Start your workout with a warm-up to get your blood flowing and your muscles loose. Here is a simple warm-up routine that you can do anywhere:
- Up Dog to Child’s Pose: 30 seconds
- Cat Cow: 30 seconds
- Trunk Rotations: 30 seconds
- Side Bends: 30 seconds
Workout
After the warm up, perform each WORKOUT moves for 40 seconds, resting 20 seconds between moves. These moves will be performed consecutively for a 10 minute workout. If time allows, repeat the WORKOUT once or twice for a 20 or 30 minute burn!

Tips
- If you’re new to bodyweight exercises, start with fewer repetitions and gradually increase as you get stronger.
- Focus on proper form over speed. It’s better to do fewer repetitions with good form than more repetitions with bad form.
- Breathe deeply and evenly throughout each exercise.
- Listen to your body and take breaks when you need them.
This workout can be done anywhere, with no equipment required. It is a great way to stay active while traveling and to strengthen your core.
