Workout You Can Do on Holiday

This Is the Perfect Cardio Workout You Can Do on Holiday

Jul 23 2018

When you're travelling and away from your gym, it can feel like a workout just isn't possible without your usual equipment or favourite instructor or trainer leading you through the moves. Jade Jenny, CrossFit coach and owner of Champlain Valley CrossFit, says, for those of you who say they can't exercise while on holiday because they don't have a gym or they don't know what to do, this is the perfect workout. It's just two moves, which seems simple, but it's intense!

The Workout

Directions: Complete four rounds of the workout ahead AQAP (as quick as possible). If you're not sure how far 400 metres is, run for about 2:00 to 2:30 minutes. If you can't get outside, run in place, or do the butt-kicker run shown ahead.

400-metre run (or run in place or do butt-kicker run)
20 burpees

Move efficiently, but don't stop. Jade always says that even slow burpees are faster than just lying on the ground breathing heavy! Aim to do this workout in under 18 minutes.

Butt-Kicker Run

  • Run in place, bringing your heels to your butt to target your hamstrings.
  • Pump your arms to keep your upper body moving and your heart rate up.

Classic Burpee

  • Begin standing with the feet hip-distance apart.
  • Lower into a crouching squat with your hands on the floor.
  • Do a squat thrust by jumping your feet back into a plank position.
  • Do one basic push-up, bending the elbows and then straightening back to plank.
  • Step or jump the feet forward to the hands, and come into a squat.
  • Do an explosive jump straight up, getting as much height as you can.
