Park Performance!

This week is the first week of Spring! Take your workouts outside and enjoy the fresh air and cooler temperatures. Pretty busy this weekend? No time for exercise? This workout is perfect! All you need is a pretty neighborhood and a bench.

Begin with a full body warm up and progress into a 15 minute speed walk or jog. End your jog at a local park (no parks nearby; jump in the car drive to the closest park and start the workout there).

Complete the follow circuit of exercises three sets:

1. Alternating step ups to balance (10/leg)

2. Plank w alt overhead reaches (10/arm)

3. Plank w alt leg extensions (10/leg)

4. Push-ups (10)- elevated as shown in the picture or on the ground for more of a challenge

5. Sit to stands w hands on head (10)- hands on head and shoulders pulled back keeps you from compensating by rounding your shoulders forward

6. Dips (10)

Finish off by repeating your initial warm up jog/walk this time, same distance but book it!

And there you have it, a quick way to get some efficient and effective cardio circuit training!
