Quick Workouts Outside
December 19, 2008
Okay, so a lot of you reading this might be in the middle of winter, but over here in my country, it is the middle of one hot summer. So I thought why not write this now and you can come back to it when the weather starts to warm up.
Doing a workout outdoors is one of the best things to do. Cool breeze, sunshine and all of that. Why not take some time out of the sweaty gym or your home gym and get outside. As the headline says they are quick workouts taking no more than 20 minutes, but they will give you a good session.
If there is a park or field close by, make your way over there and you can start by doing some stretches to warm up the body. You can do these exercises in about 15 – 20 minutes, but you have to keep your rest in between to only 30 seconds at the most.
- Squat jumps
- Body weight squats
- 50 or 75 yard sprints
- Hill sprinting (if there is one)
- Pull ups on the kids playground monkey bars
If you want, you could go through all of them, or just choose a couple and keep rotating them. Make sure to keep your intensity as high as possible to get the ultimate fat loss experience.
If you are not in great condition at the moment, don’t stress. You can ease into it by going at a lower intensity until you get used to it and can get through the exercises faster later on.
Exercising in the open is a great way to break your usual routine without losing any of the benefits.
