I usually take a couple kickboxing tapes with me when I travel. Most use very little room and I feel like I'm getting both cardio and toning benefits even without the weights. Any of the Powerstrikes are good for this -- you really don't need any room at all (well, enough to execute a front, back, and side kick without knocking over a lamp!). With Tae Bo you probably need enough space to at least grapevine once from side to side.
An oldie that uses only a special Xerbar (tubing attached to a bar -- available from Spri) is Keli Roberts's Straight Up Sculpt. It was originally available through IDEA -- don't know if they still offer it. I don't have the video any more, but like taking the Xerbar on vacations (it comes with a chart of exercises to do). And the last Spri catalog I received listed a dozen or more videos that use tubing or bands. My other travelling favorite, at least if I'm going to my mom's, where I have access to one pair of medium-size weights, is Christi Taylor's Strength, Balance, and Flexibility. It always surprises me how tough this video is! Traveling always makes me wish I enjoyed running, like my husband. It seems like it would be so much easier to get in some exercise that way, plus he always gets to explore wherever we're visiting first.

Need video recommendations for travelling
Hi Everyone:
Check out this site. http://zoneworkout.com I recently went to Vegas and stayed at the Excalibur Hotel. I was able to get one of the videos featured on this web site on the hotel TV. I really didn't need any special equipment to do it, just a hotel towel and a chair and I thought it was a great workout. Unfortunately, they do not sell the videos to individuals. Nelly |
