Southport Rockpools circuit workout
Start where you like, all you need is a park bench, for our example we’re in a shady spot just opposite Cafe Catalina. But really you could be at any park anywhere in Australia for a simple routine like this. Walk a lap of the Rockpools, if it’s a brisk walk it’ll take you about 4 minutes as you can see from our map, if you’re fitter run it and it’ll take you about two minutes. Either way it’s about 360 metres with a couple of slopes through the scenic and meandering pathway.
Complete the session
When you get back to the start at the park bench near the playground and spider web climbing frame complete this circuit:
20 push ups with your hands on the table
20 squats with your bottom to the park bench each time
20 dips with your hands on the park bench seat
20 assisted chin ups by using the spider net playground at about chest height
5 laps around the park
This basic circuit should take you about 10 minutes all up for each round if walking, and not taking breaks between each lots of 20 reps. Repeat as many as you can, if you’re new to exercise perhaps start with one circuit and increase by one a week until you get to 5. 5 circuits will give you almost two kilometers of walking and so much more than that from the strength circuit. 5 circuits is less than an hour while enjoying the great outdoors and setting a great example for the kids happily playing. When you’re ready step it up to an even bigger lap around the Broadwater Parklands.
