A hamster for the holidays

Improvisation. If you can shake off the carb coma and break free of family long enough to get a work-out in, you're going to have to be savvy. I once had to manage a workout on my 30th Birthday in Prague where the 'gym' consisted of a rusty exercise cycle and a barometric chamber (?!). Oh, and no shoes were allowed for some reason. I also managed to perplex and alarm my 16 year old nephew when I did a walking lunge workout that grossly misjudged 50 meters and left me sore for days. And since the most many of you will be able to scare up in terms of space and equipment is a seldom used Treadmill in the corner of somebody's bedroom, I offer the following workouts in the hopes that they amuse nephews and nieces and keep you from feeling like a holiday equipment hamster running on your wheel.
