This video demonstrates a quick, high-intensity upper body workout designed for travelers in hotel gyms. Using a pyramid structure, the routine focuses on push-ups and shoulder presses to build muscular endurance and increase heart rate without requiring heavy equipment or significant time.
So you're traveling and you find yourself in a hotel gym,
but you don't have the time
to hit a bunch of these heavy weights
or hit the machines or run on a treadmill.
You want to get a quick workout in,
work those muscles and be done with it. Move on with your
vacation or your business trip,
whatever you have that's got you in this hotel gym right now.
I want you to go find five pound dumbbells.
And I know what you're thinking five pounds.
I can lift way more than that.
I know you can, but trust me, this is all you're going to need
right now. All right. I want you to follow along with me.
We're going to do this workout together.
It's going to be pushups and shoulder presses.
That's all we're going to do. Pyramid style from
one all the way up to 10. Let's go. Get your dumbbells.
If you don't have them, then just do
pushups with me. If you can't do the pushups,
I want you to revert to knee pushups. So if you
start gassing out and you can't keep up go
to the knees and try to keep up if
you can here we go we're gonna start one push-up come up keep
the core tight one
shoulder press reset we go two push-ups
come up one two reset I'm gonna go slow
so you guys can keep up one two three
and up one two three here we go one four
four, one, two, three, four,
one, two, three, four.
I know these five pounds don't feel like a lot right now,
but they're gonna start getting heavy.
Three, four, four, five,
I'm starting to feel it.
One, two, three,
four, five, six,
one, three, four, six,
feeling the burn?
Just keep going as fast as you can, keep up.
One, three, four, five, six, seven,
full range of motion. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
Make sure you're breathing. Don't hold your breath on these
reps. 1, 2, 3, almost there.
4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Let's go. Let's go.
Push yourself. 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8.
You're going to start feeling that lactic acid build up.
I want you to push through the pain
and keep going here we go we're

as you can five six seven eight nine home stretch on this one here we

shoulder press set we're up one two three keep up
with me let's go four six seven eight nine all you
need for this workout five pound dumbbells and
these are optional by the way you can do standard push-ups
or just nothing in your hands standard
shoulder press with your hands like
this as if you're holding weights in your hands it's that
simple. You probably feel a massive pump right now.
It took us a few minutes to complete. If
you're short on time, this is a great way
to work the upper body, work your endurance,
your muscular endurance,
even get your heart rate up and you start breathing heavier. So it's a
little bit of cardio too because of how fast we go with no rest
and no breaks. Let's go.
