Hotel and travel workout

One DB Carry-On

Many hotel gyms have a mismatched dumbbell rack and very little open space. This workout needs only one dumbbell and can be completed without claiming multiple stations.

One DB Carry-On workout guide

The workout

Select the load

Use a dumbbell you can strict press for eight clean reps on your weaker side. The squat and carry will feel relatively light, so slow the tempo and keep posture sharp.

Pacing strategy

Move steadily and rest after each full round. Change hands carefully and keep the dumbbell close to your body. This session is about useful strength work, not racing around a small room.

No carry lane?

Replace the suitcase carry with a 30-second suitcase hold on each side. Stand tall without leaning away from the weight.
