I have a love/hate relationship with working out when I am on the road. I hate it because you are subjected to what most hotels think is an “exercise room” with little no actual equipment aside from a treadmill and a bike. I love it because it’s fun to come up with WODs that don’t really use much equipment. Also, sometimes you get looks where people are clearly thinking “what the hell is he doing??!”. That’s kinda fun.

Anyway. This hotel actually had some dumbbells, so for some terrible reason, I decided a “Dumbbell Bear” was in order. Why, oh why?

I decided to do a 15 minute AMRAP with 35#. I tried a round with the 40’s and it wasn’t really pretty.

I got in 10 full rounds on the dot and was breathing hard the whole time. I don’t want to do this again for a while.
