Get Outside and Workout!


It is hot in the city today with temps hitting 90 degrees downtown.  Typical Chicago skipping right from freezing to sizzling summer temps.  I trained one of my clients outdoors today and the park was buzzing- people of all shapes and sizes outside getting exercise.  It was fantastic!

If you got home from work tonight and wanted to do something active, but were at a loss for ideas, read below for a fast and furious kick butt workout that you can do anywhere outside.  

5-10 minute walk or run to your nearest park
15 squats
Pushups to failure
Shuttle Run - 45 seconds
16 Reverse lunges alternating legs
Pullups to failure (negative pullups if necessary)- use the monkey bars!
Side Shuffles- 45 seconds
Side, middle, side plank (20-30 seconds each position)
Cariocas- 45 seconds
5-10 minute walk or run home
If you are feeling good, repeat those exercises twice.  If you are crunched for time, one set is great.  This is a no-nonsense, equipment free, get-it-done workout. 

Not sure what these exercises are?  Let's get together!  Mention this blog post and get a complimentary training session when you purchase a session. 
Now is the time to get that spark in your fitness!
