Travel Plans: One Full Body Hotel Room Exercise

I need a gym to do this exercise.

No, you do not.

Name: Overhead Snatch Squat w/ Towel Pull
Get a bathroom towel. Hold it above your head and pull out during the entire process. Raise your arms over your head. Make sure that when you raise your arms that the towel is about 4 inches above your head. Your body may mimic the shape of an upper case "Y". Brace yourself. That is, tighten your belly as if someone is about to punch you. Now, squat while squeezing your shoulder blades together, pushing the towel toward the ceiling. At the end of your squat, your wrists should face the ceiling. Upon standing, continue to hold your breath until you reach the top. See the photo below.

Targets: Shoulders, butt, quads, upper back. It's a core workout.

Parameters: 2 to 3 sets of 15. Hey, this exercise may be the only you do at the hotel.

Time to Completion: Roughly 30 to 40 seconds per set. You do have 3 minutes to do one exercise right?



Start and end position

Squat position. Sure, it could be lower.
