Welcome to the Get Fit Guys' quick and dirty tips to slim down and shape up. My name is Ben Greenfield,

and I'm the Get Fit Guy. If you travel frequently and you try to stay fit while you're on the road,

you've probably experienced this scenario. You arrive at your hotel, you go to check out the gym,

and you're greeted with a less than posh, bare bones collection of dusty dumbbells and a squeaky

treadmill. In such a situation, going outside for a run may be one option, but sometimes

it can be tough to find a safe running route. or perhaps you may not be able to run because of

a knee injury or foot pain, or maybe you're just not a runner. So what do you do in a case like this?

Well, when I'm faced with such a scenario, I simply choose one body weight exercise,

one free weight, or machine exercise, and one cardio exercise. And then I put all three of those

together in a circuit that I'll usually do around five times through. For example, for my body

weight exercise, I might do 15 push-ups, and then I might do 15 dumbbell curls or cable pull-downs and then finish that up with

two minutes of running on the treadmill and then simply repeat that same pattern four more times

with minimal rest between each exercise time goes by fast when you mix it up and especially if the

cardio equipment is old and dilapidated, it makes it much easier when you're just
