Workout 3/22: biceps and chest on the go means push-ups and resistance band routine

The nature of my existence requires that I travel between the West coast and mountain states, and the cheapest hotel/casino doesn't always have a gym. That it why I am a huge fan of keeping workouts simple and portable.
Here is my workout using Reebok's braided resistance band on loaded pyramid sets.

Warm up: 10 min hula hoop

Strength training:
bicep curls 4x10,8,6,4
flat palm incline push-ups 4x10,8,6,4
chest presses 4x10,8,6,4
knuckle incline push-ups 4x10,8,6,4
chest flies 4x10,8,6,4
knuckle push-ups 4x10,8,6,4
incline chest press 4x10,8,6,4
diamond palm triangle push-ups 4x10,8,6,4

cardio: dance 45 min
