Often people don’t work out because they don’t have a gym membership or a weight room in their garage. It is possible to get in very good shape without either of those two things, but maybe you could use a little bit of help with a solid routine. Or maybe you have a gym membership or a weight room in your garage, like Ivan and I do, but you travel a lot. These routines can be done while you are on the road, as well. We have three body-sculpting workouts here for you to follow. Just doing these routines three days per week will begin to give you the added benefits of a well-oxygenated blood stream, some fat-burning oomph and great muscle development, all of which will boost your immune system and build your overall health, in addition to building a great physique.
Of course, as with any new exercise regimen, be sure to check with your doctor that you are physically able to perform these routines.
Routine #1 Be a Star Stair Workout
2 minute fast walk or light jog warm up
2 minute dynamic leg movement 30 seconds of each – high knee lunges/glute kickbacks/squats/leg swings forward and back
Stair Workout- 3 sets each exercise with 5 push ups between each set:
Pick a flight of stairs with a minimum of 20 stairs. If you are in a hotel, use several flights of stairs to get a good, solid workout.
1) Moderate speed up and down
2) Moderate speed 2 at a time
3) Fast up/recovery down (come down the stairs at a comfortable pace, breathing deeply as you descend)
4) Squat/jump/squats 1 at a time (squat jump up 1 stair then squat again)/recovery down
5) Moderate speed high knee drive step ups/recovery down
2 minute fast walk or light jog cool down
Routine #2 Upper Body Burnout

Chair Workout- 3 sets of 10 of each exercise with alternating 10 squats and 10 lunges between each set:
1) Decline chair push-ups (feet on chair)
2) Chair dips (hands on chair)
3) Chair curls (lie in front of chair, hold chair legs and and pull feet up toward chair, folding at the waist. Return feet slowly to the floor with legs straight)
4) Chair shoulder press (stand and push inverted chair overhead – works best with a simple folding chair)
5) Incline chair push-up (hands on chair)
2 minutes fast walk or light jog cool down
Routine #3 Total Body Blaster
2 minutes light jog in place or jump rope (don’t need a actual jump rope) warm up

Floor Workout – 3 sets of 12 of each with 20 wall push ups between each set:
1) Squat jacks (squat, pop up into a jumping jack)
2) Lie down/stand ups (anyway you like)
3) Walk hands away from feet to a downward dog pose and back (start upright, return upright)
4) Move through a sit-up to standing upright and reverse back down the same way (start on ground)
5) Stairclimbers from push-up position
2 minutes light jog in place or jump rope (don’t need a actual jump rope) cool down
If you make the time three days a week to move through these routines, you will be impressed and pleased with how fit, ripped and buff you begin to feel within a very short time. Yes, YOU! Give it a try and let us know how you are doing.
