Hotel or Guest Room Circuit:
Do each of the following exercises for 1 minute and repeat 3 times each. About 15 minutes of resistance work will burn up to 150 calories. Double your caloric burn by adding 1-2 minutes of jumping jacks/marching in place between each.
Tricep dips: Sit down on a chair or bench. With hands grasping the chair or bench scoot forward until your bottom is no longer on the seat. Dip down so that your elbows go straight back.
Wall Push-Ups: Stand approximately 2-3 feet from the wall and place the palms of your hands on the wall. Shoulder width apart. Push down as if you were doing a push up on the ground. To protect your lower back and minimize wrist pain, brace your core.

Squats: With arms out in front of you (and holding a heavy book or a water bottle in each hand for extra weight), feet hips width apart, squat back like you are sitting down in a seat. As you go down, slowly lift your arms up and repeat.
Lunge Twist: Lunge one leg forward at a time. Make sure legs are bent at 90 degree angles. Hold in lunge position for a second then twist your torso toward the leg that is lunged out. Return to start and repeat with the other leg.
