Does anyone know any good cardio and weightlifting exercises to do in a hotel room while traveling? I can't really take any weights with me but I have a resistance band. I'd like some good exercises to get my heart rate up.

you can always use a skip rope and calisthenics to work out
Does the hotel have a fitness center? Or an arrangement with one of the local gyms? Might be a good idea to look into.
There is a lot of different exercises that you can perform in an hotel room.
For Cardio I would recommend doing a circuit sort of workout with about 10 exercises. Some the exercises you could do in a hotel room include:
* Jumping Jacks
* Jump Rope (just jumping in place if you do not have one)
* Jumping over a line (imaginary or make one) front/back, side to side
* Step up and down on a table in the room if at approriate height and strength
* High Knees
* Butt Kicks
* Sit ups
* Push ups
* Even Jogging in place....as fun as that sounds!
Strength Training:
* Push ups
* Sit ups
* Using a table or bed.....tricep dips
* Using something of any weight to do bicep curls
* Lunges
* Squats without weights
* Calf Raises
* Superman (Back Extension)
Using your elastic band-
* Tying it at different levels allows you to do different exercises......
Tie it high- Pull downs-work the shoulder muscles
Tie it at shoulder height- shoulder internal and external rotation
Stepping on it- bicep curls and front raises
for more elastic band exercises and demonstrations go to
I also recommend bringing along a Pilates video or doing some pilates moves which are easy to do in a hotel room.
Hope this helps some!
