Outdoor workout
You can build muscle just as effectively using your own body weight as you can by lifting some iron. All you really need is something to push on or pull on and a little open space where you can move your body and activate all the muscles you’re used to training indoors. We came up with a plan you can do at your local park (or at your home) to get you ripped and strong while improving your tan at the same time. Though it may look like you’re playing, you’ll feel these exercises work your whole body, particularly your core, and you’ll tire out fast.
Start at 10 REPS and do one less every SET down to ONE REP
Jump Squat: Stand with knees slightly bent and feet shoulder-width apart. Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the ground and then jump as high as you can. Land with soft knees and repeat.
Bench Jump (Box Jump): Stand facing the bench with knees slightly bent and weight in your heels, prepared to jump. Jump up onto the bench, landing softly with knees bent.
Dip: Bring your whole body over parallel bars and then lower your body until your upper arms are parallel to the ground.
Park Bench Push-Up: With elbows tucked at your side, lower torso to the bench, performing a push-up. Keeping your core engaged and hips lifted, push up to return to the starting position
Swing Knee Tuck (for Core): Start in a kneeling position one to two feet in front of the swing. Using your hands for balance, place one foot at a time on the swing. Raise knees off the ground and extend your arms directly below your shoulders. You should be in a high plank supported by your feet in the swing and your hands on the ground. Engage your core to pull knees in toward chest, keeping hands in line with shoulders. Think about lifting your butt to the sky in order to fully engage your core. Slowly and with control, return to start.
