The Hotel Room HIIT Workout

hotel room hiit workout
One of my biggest goals with 12 Minute Athlete is to show you that you really can work out anywhere.

So that’s why I decided to film a workout for you while in my hotel room in Denver, Colorado. As you can tell from the video, it was pretty tiny—I didn’t have much space, and I had no equipment at all to work with. But I still got in a kick-ass workout—and so can you, whether all you have is a hotel room, your parents’ basement or an outdoor park.

So stop making excuses, and start getting results!

And remember, in order to get the most out of these HIIT workouts, you have to work as hard as you possibly can. If you’re not tired by the end of your workout, you seriously didn’t work hard enough.

Here’s your hotel room HIIT workout:

  4. Thanks to Krista, for the first time in my vacations in Italy I worked out in my hotel!
    No excuses as before, when I thought I had to have a complete gym place, and no guilty for eating pastas and drinking wines!
