Try this Outdoor Workout

So, usually when I teach an outdoor boot camp or something like that, I try my best to do the workout with the group as well as try to talk during the whole thing to keep people motivated.

Yesterday, however, I was having a hard time. I made the workout SO hard and invigorating, I was dripping sweat and gasping for air... in a good way! It was so exciting and I felt so amazing after. I thought I'd share the new workout, and guess what... no equipment necessary!

What you will need:

• Water
• Towell (optional)
• Stairs or Hill
• Bench or Grass
  

1. Start with a warm-up - light jogging for about 4 minutes
2. Add 5 warm-up sprints to your light jog, each one about 30 seconds long
3. Walk for 1 full minute
4. Warm up your upper body by swinging side to side and swimming your arms
5. Stretch your legs lightly for about 2 minutes

NOW YOU'RE READY TO SWEAT!

6. Start jogging towards the stairs or hill
7. You're going to do 5 stair or hill sprints resting for 1 minute between each one
8. Once you finish, you should be breathing hard, get into a squat and hold it for 1 minute
9. Get into a downward dog position and perform mountain climbers for 1 minute

(Mountain Climbers How-To: You're on your hands and your feet in a downward dog like position. To start, jump your legs back and forth bringing one knee to your chest at a time and switching... kind of like your trudging up a mountain.)

10. Do 3 Sets of 15 Squats
11. Do 3 Sets of 15 Push ups (use a bench or do it on your knees if you need to)
12. Do 200 crunches
13. Stretch and YOU MADE IT!

I had fun with this workout yesterday. Try it... and make sure to push yourself. Remember, you get the most benefits when you challenge yourself.
