Now that it is springtime take your workouts outside! Grab a bottle of water, sweat towel, and a watch to time yourself and head outside! Running or even walking hills is excellent for cardiovascular fitness as well as a great lower body workout. You can also do walking lunges outside up hill or on a flat surface. You can try jumping rope or jump squats outside as well. You can do dips on a park bench as well as reverse crunches! My favorite....running bleachers! It is the best full body workout ever! To make any walk, jog, or run more intense you can add ankle and/or wrist weights. Make sure to drink plenty of water as being outside you tend to sweat more and the last thing you want to do is get dehydrated! I love the springtime and exercising outside is great! You can get vitamin D from the sun, fresh air, and condition your heart and body all at the same time! Next time you workout walk outside there are so many things you can do out!

Be fit, Stay well!
