No Gym? No Problem. Try This Tough At-Home Workout.
Skipping a workout due to circumstances beyond your control is an infuriating situation for a coach, athlete or lifter. Thinking about your training session for hours, only to have it fall through, is never a good feeling.
However, I’ve noticed that most of the time, missing a workout doesn’t have to be the end result when your day doesn’t go as planned. You could knock out a quick at-home workout and get a training effect similar to what you would get at the gym.

Below is an at-home workout you can do in a pinch, whether you can’t make it to the gym for some reason or you’re traveling and aren’t sure whether you’ll have access to a workout area. You can do this workout in a hotel room, a garage or your living room. Heck, you could even go to a gym and get it done—without being one of the dozens of people wanting to use the same piece of equipment at the same time.
What do you need? Absolutely nothing more than 45 minutes and a strong work ethic. This isn’t your average bodyweight workout. It’s not a cookie-cutter plan; it’s not a dance-along DVD. It’s a give-it-your-all strength training, minus the barbells. Try it out!
