I TRAVEL a lot for work and I am hoping to get some advice about some exercises I can do while on the go. Most of the time it’s late and I find myself stuck in a hotel room. When there is a gym, I head down and use it but sometimes the hotel does not have a facility. Any advice you have would be great.
