Youtube has a lot of hotel room workouts that will not wake up your neighbors. I have tried travel yoga and low impact workouts
It’s not exactly a set of classic fitness exercises, more like a mix of movement and mindfulness. I find that it calms my nerves down while at the same time putting me in touch with my body with gentle and deliberate stretching. The reference video is called "Ten Mindful Movements - Thich Nhat Hahn" and you can find it easily enough. I hope you enjoy it!
I really like yoga with Adrienne, all you need is yourself and a way to play her videos. If you’re away from data connection, her app (monthly fee) allows you to download for offline viewing. The other option I live is bodyweight fitness. There’s an app called Progressive Workouts that runs you through the Reddit /r/bodyweightfitness recommended routine and helps you build up your skills. Most exercises require no equipment, although a set of rings is used for a couple and workout bands help you build your pull-up practice. There are also lots of prison workouts that require no equipment and can be done in a small space (no prison required!)
Use the gym if staying at a hotel or find a good 5-10 minute workout on your phone and do it before going to bed or when you wake up.
Just use the stairs instead of elevator. Maybe your routine will not be the same as usual, but you could continue to exercise everyday
I pack resistance bands, and use Fitify Resistance Band workout, this way I have something consistent regardless where I am. The bands travel easy and the app allows me to do a quick 5 minute workout, or more. I’ll try and block time in the morning, as it’s easier for me to be consistent. If I’m stressed after a long day, will often do another quick workout to help reduce the adrenaline and cortiol built up by stress.
Squats Pushups Jumping jacks Standing knee kicks Do these in variations and in sequences. Change it up a bit while also maintaining some level of structure to it. Be consistent. Keep track of progress.
Set some time aside to take a walk or rent a bicycle in the place you have travelled to! This way, you will get to exercise and experience a new place at the same time.
Walk as much as possible and look up “hotel room workouts”- these are typically equipment free workouts you can do from anywhere. You can also easily pack a resistance band.
Stay away from the all-or-nothing mentality. What is most important is not to break the habit, so if you only have 5 to 10 minutes for a short routine (a few crunches, dancing around in your hotel room, light stretches, etc.) make the best out of them! If you don’t break the habit then you’ll get to do your regular routine back at home.
