Workout and Diet Plan
The Meal Plans 101 Team
Packing on slabs of muscle
is easy for those who have all the time in the world to train, eat,
and rest. Unfortunately, 1% of us fall into that category. The question
then arises as to what to do for those of us who are "running"
on the corporate treadmill that keeps increasing in speed. And of
course, what is the best diet plan?
Admit it, you’ve
fallen prey to corporate work hours, your significant other may
complain you are not spending enough time with the kids, you are
consistently traveling for work, your nutrition has gone to pot,
and frankly, you are beaten by life. Does this scenario sound familiar?
Well now it’s time to do something before your washboard turns
into a bowl full of jelly.
Sometimes weights aren't
always available when you travel, which would at least allow you
to maintain or improve your physique; fortunately, there's a workout
for you too. Weights aren't crucial to improving your physique;
let's take a look at some exercises that can not only maintain your
hard earned muscle, but even improve your physique. If nothing else,
it's a great way to add some variety (even if you are still using
a gym).
Workout A
Walking lunges across
hotel room floor (at least 10 repetitions for each leg)
Superset with
25 pushups with hands
shoulder with apart
Repeat set 3 times
Duck walks (squat into
the lowest comfortable position and walk forward from one side of
the hotel room to the other. Continue walking repeatedly for 30
seconds. Stand to shake out the legs and repeat 3 times)
Superset with
25 pushups with hands
in a triangle position
Leap Frog (you don’t
need to ask your co-worker to play with you; this can be done across
the room on your own. Squat as low as possible, leap (without hitting
your head on the ceiling). Do so across room.
Superset with
Bodyweight triceps extensions
(place your hands on the dresser or other stable furniture with
your feet about 4 feet away from the furniture [the lower the furniture
and further away the feet, the more difficult the exercise]). Lower
your head by only bending your elbows (thinking of upside down skull
crushers). Return to starting position.
Workout B
Military pushups (this
if for the more advanced. Get into a handstand with feet against
the wall or with friend holding your feet. Lower your body towards
the ground and pushup to starting position). Complete 10 repetitions.
Superset with
Rear delt lifts (lying
on back with arms out to side (making a cross with body and arms).
Bend arms at elbow so fingertips are pointing towards the ceiling.
Raise your upper body keeping only elbows and butt touching the
floor---for the more advanced, raise the entire body off the floor).
10 repetitions
One leg deadlifts (raise
one foot off the ground and behind the body. Squat down as low as
possible until back leg is just above the floor. You may have to
hold onto something for balance to start). Repeat 10 repetitions
on each leg
Superset with
The Plank (keep only
feet and forearms on the ground; raise body off the ground keeping
your body in a straight line). Hold for 25 seconds
Nutrition on
the Go
So now you’ve accomplished
your exercise goal for the day, but what are you going to eat? What
is the best diet plan when you’re living out of a hotel? Hotel
food gets redundant. It’s hard to encounter a restaurant that
can cater to a healthy lifestyle. You have to get creative.
Here are some suggestions:
1. First, pack some meal
replacements and a shaker bottle.
2. Pack some high quality nutrition bars.
3. Pack some raw nuts and dried fruit (2:1 ratio between the two
is perfect). That tiny bag of pretzels on the plane won’t
cut it!
4. Pack fruit—an apple or banana is perfect for the plane.
Pack a Ziploc bag for the garbage and you’re good to go.
The plane ride is now
over, but what do you do the rest of the trip to not ruin your entire
physique?
1. Locate a grocery store nearby your hotel and pick up some non-perishable
foods, unless the hotel has a refrigerator.
2. Call ahead of time to also find out if your room has a microwave,
so you can then throw in a couple of packets of oatmeal and some
water for a quick, no hassle meal that’s great for you.
No matter how busy your
schedule, there is always time to eat well and train. While the
conditions may not be ideal, or in your normal routine or pattern,
throwing up your hands and giving up will do nothing more than cause
you to quickly get out of shape, decrease your work performance,
and make you feel sorry for yourself. You may not feel like you
have time to exercise—you must MAKE time to exercise! So what
is the best diet plan for when you’re on the road—it’s
not living off fast food, vending machine snacks, and treats on
the plane.
