I faced this dilemma this year. We bought a wooden boat that needed a TON of work. We left every Fri afternoon, drove 3 hours and stayed there till Sun night, Mon if we could manage (once school let out) and sometimes...when DH's Peterbilt needed an engine rebuild, till Wed. We started April 7 and once we pull it out of the water around the end of Oct we will stop.
I didn't have room for much on the boat and, didn't want to haul lots up and back. I used it as my motivation to start workouts I was avoiding like Tonique. I added things I wouldn't normally fit in my planned rotation such as Buti or Yoga (I need to do more flexibility but....never do!!). I brought a single pair of 3# weights and a set of ankle weights.
I made a point of always doing my heavy weights at home. I often didn't know far ahead what day we would be home so, any time I was, I made SURE to get my weights in. That way, I could do Tonique on a boat/leg day. I took a few cardio only w/o's from Cathe, EBE2, dreambody etc and just rearranged my week by doing them whatever days we ended up on the boat. Since I do M/W/F legs, and do 1 endurance, 1 heavy and 1 in between, I just chose the leg w/o based on where I was that day. If something got out of whack, I had plenty of cardio options so at least I could do SOMETHING.
I brought bands, firewalker loop and stuff in the beginning but, never actually used them.
