Daily RAW - 5/25 & workouts on the road

Greetings RAW Warriors,
Today's daily workout is one on the road... I am in a hotel for a couple days attending the State Track Meet, and forgot my exercise band. I picked one up at my favorite sporting goods Superstore,  Scheels, for about $15. It came with a door loop to fix inside a door hinge area. I could have done just a bodyweight workout but I do like the mix of exercises a simple band can give you. So, here was today's routine I did:

Squat and Row: facing the doorway, I first squatted down with arms extended, then stood up and pulled in for a row. Did this for 20s work, 10s rest for 3 minutes.

Stationary Lunge & Press: facing away from the wall, I went down to a fixed lunge and did chest presses. Alternating legs every set, I did this for 3 minutes of 20/10 once again.

Band Pulldowns: basically a lat pulldown action with the band up higher in the door jamb. Dis this for 2 minutes of 20/10.

Band crunches: kneeling down and facing away from the door, I held the handles at shoulder height and did crunches. Did this for 2 minutes of 20/10 as well.

Finally it was Standing Twists, facing the door and holding the handles at about waist height, with elbows at 90 and fixed to my sides, twisting from side to side for 2 minutes of 20/10 too.

All in all it was another great version of the 20/10 format, all with just one band. Check out this great style of time saving routines at http://tinyurl.com/cbhwrevsale today, it is still one of the best values around for home workout routines.

Lift. Dominate. Repeat.
