I love exercising outdoors on cool mornings! The breeze, chirping birds overhead, and the naturally soft ground...it's the perfect way to spend the morning. In fact, exercising outside is one of the healthiest things for you. Check out this study by The New York Times about the benefits of outdoor fitness.
To get you started on your outdoor fitness routine, begin by warming up. Your warm-up can be as simple as fast-walking to the local park (which is what I did) or perform interval running and fast-walking for 1-mile or 15 minutes.
The Workout
Bench Squats 10x
Bench Step-Ups 10x each side
Elevated Push-Ups 10x
Elevated Mountain Climbers 20x
Knee-Ins 10x
Triceps Dips 10x
Romanian Lunges 10x each side
This is a fun workout that can be done anywhere and is perfect for your whole body. You are welcome to do another set for an even more advanced workout. Make sure you cool down properly by stretching and walking back home.
Have a great time outdoors! Until next time,
Amanda
