Module 31: The "52" Workout
Let's get back on track with my favorite workouts.
Anyone who travels a lot knows that trying to stay in shape on the road can be a huge problem.
Daily gym fees are usually ridiculous and traveling frequently includes dinners and drinks with clients, networking events, etc.
But still, there's a simple way to stay in shape even if you're a road warrior.
Step #1: Eat only 1 meal per day.
Because you're probably going to be eating calorically-dense restaurant foods, it makes sense to condense all your calories into a single meal.
Usually it's easiest to skip breakfast and lunch and then just eat whatever the hell you want for dinner.
By eating only 1 meal a day, you're fasting for approximately 21-23 hours a day so you end up burning a ton of fat during the day.
And if you can pair that eating schedule with this simple workout, you can get home in better shape than you left.
The Deck of Cards Workout
I got this idea of N.F.L. legend Ray Lewis. He used a similar workout when he was kid. Here it is:
Get yourself a standard deck of cards. (no jokers.)
Shuffle 'em up. Diamond-suited cards are push-ups. Hearts are burpees. Spades are bodyweight squats. Clubs are sit-ups.
So you flip over the first card, and if it's a 5 of diamonds that's 5 push-ups. Next card -- king of spades? That's 10 squats. (All face cards are 10.) Aces are 15 reps.
You go through the entire deck like this. At first, you goal is just to finish. But as you adapt, start timing yourself and strive to complete the workout faster than you did last time.
This might not seem like much on the surface but this is a brutal workout and when you combine this with eating only 1 meal a day you'll be amazed at how traveling can actually get you in better shape.
