Get your exercise done in Robina Common

In the heart of Robina, Gold Coast,  you find the well-known park and perfect outdoor workout location Robina Common Park. Located conveniently along Ron Penhaligon Way, it is easy the perfect spot to stop for a fitness session. If you live nearby you can walk to the park as a warm up, but there is also a lot of parking availability at the park if you need to drive to get there (remember, anything under 2 km you’re not allowed to take the car!). The park houses baseball, soccer and cricket fields and you might even already be there once or twice per week if your kids are participating in any of the sporting activities that have their training sessions in the park, and then you have no excuse to not do a workout at the same time as you are there anyway.

Sprint between poles workout

There are big lawn fields with big open spaces that you can utilize for your workout, conveniently enough there are also big light posts placed out that you can use to do sprints in between. Choose six exercises, for example; squats, push ups, lunges, star jumps, sit ups, and high knee jog. Start by running to one pole, and do 15 reps of one exercise, run back and do 15 reps of the next exercise. Continue with the rest of the exercises until you have done all six and also six runs – that’s one circuit. You can do one, two, or three laps, depending on your fitness level.

Workout stations

If you follow the path in a fitness circuit around Robina Common, there are a few work out station placed out with different equipment so that you can work through your whole body. If you do one lap of the circuit below on the map, it is exactly 1 km and you have three workout stations to stop at along the way. For a beginner you can do one or two laps to start with, and walk between the stations. As you are getting more advanced you can start jogging between the stations, and do maybe three or even four laps! That will be a very good workout that will give you both improvements strength wise and also cardiovascular benefits.

Interval workout

For a specific cardio workout, you can use the same circuit as on the map and walk a certain amount of laps, or jog/run. You can do the workout as an interval session and walk one lap and then do a fast run for the second lap, and continue for 2-3 rounds. The path is paved all the way around so you can bring your kids in a stroller and get a bit of extra resistance to get that body working even harder.

After your workout is finished, you can power-walk 800 meters along Ron Penhaligon Way up to Robina Village shopping centre and have a coffee and healthy breakfast or lunch at one of the cosy cafés. Bring a friend or partner to both the workout and the breakfast and you will have plenty of time to chat, and remember; partners who sweat together – stay together!
