Trish and I started working out together yesterday. We did a back/bicep/core workout. We were supposed to do a leg workout today, but poor Trishie is having some car troubles that she had to deal with. Since I was working out solo, I decided to go to the little park in my ‘hood for a good old park outdoor workout. Why not? It’s a gorgeous day and the sun doth shineth yet again.
Here is a breakdown of what I did today, but first I hope the fine dog owners of Pickering are using this:
Trex to Tigress Get off the Couch and Get Outside Workout:
Warm-up:
Four laps jogging around the park. This is about one mile:
10-12 elevated push-ups: (on the lovely gazebo steps):
Tree to tree walking lunges. This is approximately 50 Ft:
One minute full arm plank in the freshly cut grass. I love the smell. No forearm planks due to itchy forearm issues:
I repeat this cycle two more times, except for the laps around park.
Now, let’s add a little trivia question to this post. Who can name the song in which I entitled this post? The winner will receive a prize of mad accolades from yours truly. So, there is no prize.
Name that tune! Or tell me your favourite way to sweat outdoors.
What a fun way to mix up your routine with strength and cardio outdoors.
I really like the variety. Sometimes I change things up with jump squats or tree to tree sprinting. Being outdoors is great too.
I don’t think I know the tune! And love that you took your workout outside. Great way to enjoy the weather 🙂
I wish I could bring the gym outdoors. I just love being in the sun. Name that tune is a tough one. I should reveal soon.
I know the answer to the trivia. Instead of your accolades though, could the prize be dinner at The Keg tonight?
You’re not included in the trivia because I know you know the answer.
I love training outdoors. I’m a newbie to the concept but I’ve been getting a little envious of my clients training in the park, I took my Saturday workout to the roof yesterday. Cool, a breeze, quieter and a few seagulls! Loved it! I want to train in some outdoor gyms like muscle beach or few fully equipped outdoor gyms in Australia! As for name that tune. No idea and a great workout you did there!
Thanks Nat! I saw your roof workout equipment on IG and though I would love a roof top workout. There is an outdoor gym here, but I’m sure it doesn’t compare to muscle beach. I’m going to google Austrailian outdoor gyms.
😉 I think it’s the outdoor cross fit Australian outdoor gym!
Oh thanks! Will definitely be checking that out.
Get it girl!! I’m so glad the season of outdoor running is back! I LOVE running and hiking outdoors.
Thanks Ivanna! I know you know where I’m coming from being a Colorado girl.
Oh this workout looks awesome! It makes me want to get outside right now and do it. I love the tree to tree lunges!
Thanks. It was great. Tree to tree lunges really push me to keep going. It’s like I can’t stop until I get to that other tree!
