Outdoor Workouts

Now that the weather is finally getting nice and warm, it is a great opportunity to move your workouts to the outdoors.

Whether it is in your backyard, a park, or even at the dead end on the street you live on, you can set up your workouts anywhere there is a good amount of space. Living in the city, there isn’t much you can do outdoors unless you live near a park or you want to go to Central Park, but there are definitely ways to make it work! I for one, do not like running on the sidewalks here in NYC… it gets too crowded and it’s just not for me. There is a park next to my building, so it is a perfect spot to set up your workouts and outdoor activities.

Some things you can plan for your outdoor activities are small obstacle courses, HIIT workouts, even play some basketball and tennis. All of these are great workouts that will help you stay in shape, break a sweat, and also shed some pounds if you are consistent with them.

If you like to jump rope, bring your jump rope outside and do some things with that. Set up cones and do some sprints. Jumping squats are also my fave to do, especially outdoors. Run a mile or 2 whether it is in the park or on the sidewalk. Take a yoga or martial arts class outside.

There are sooo many different things you can incorporate into your exercises outside, so what are you waiting for?!
