Workout - On the Road

I was in Alpine/Marfa Texas this past week for work without an LA Fitness to be found, which is not unusual when traveling for work.  I had been looking for a workout routine that would allow me to use dumbbells vs formal machines when on the road and think I found it ...

Turns out my week #3 workout routine lends itself very well to dumbbells, an incline bench, a mat  and an exercise ball. Below was the only "gym" and equipment I had to work with last week. The positives were I had the place to my own and felt very refreshed afterward.

Here is the exercises I followed: about 60/70 minutes each morning

My Week #3 Routine

Monday,Tuesday, Thursday & Friday

                # of Sets          # of Reps
Incline Bench Press 4 sets 8-15 reps
Dumbbell Flyies 3 sets 8-10 reps (used exercise ball)
Dips                 3 sets 8-10 reps
Behind The Neck Press 4 sets 6-12 reps
Upright Dumbbell Rows 3 sets 8-12 reps
Front Shoulder Raise 3 sets 8-12 reps
Shrugs         3 sets 8-12 reps
One Arm Tricep Pushdown 3 sets 10-12 reps
Overhead Tricep Extension 2 sets 10-12 reps
Raised Leg Crunches         3 sets To Failure
Lying Leg Lifts                3 sets To Failure

PS - I have started doing Dips/Triceps now (7 weeks ago I could not do a single one!) in addition to the other ones above even though they typically to not have these type of workout stations on the road .... below my solution below - A treadmill!

• This piece of equipment is of course for running: but is does double nicely for dips too (Sturdy arms) and when options are limited... a great option indeed.
