Taking it to the streets!

Why workout inside, when the sun is shining and motivation awaits us outdoors?  You can get just as much of a workout by using the interesting structures around you in a park, at a playground, or even at The National Museum of Dance.... that's where we did our outdoor training this week.

Our workout:

  • jogging 2 laps around the parking loop out front 
  • 50 (soccer ball) toe taps on the stairs 
  • 20 triceps dips while resting our hands on the ledge of the front porch area 
  • 10 push-ups facing the ledge 
  • 10 single leg squats with a back foot resting on the ledge and hands behind our head
  • then we did the whole thing again! 
We even found use for a neat long area that connects one area of the museum to another, and made a loop by traveling with walking lunges and side shuffling: 


Be creative like we were and see the potential for fun activity anywhere!  

(Reminder: Just be sure to watch your form as you won't have a mirror to check out your alignment!!!)
