Park Workout

So what do you do if you have kids that need to run and jump and get dirty, but you need to get your workout in? Well you could go to JDFT (have I mentioned that childcare is included in all the family memberships and kids are welcome there anytime?!) OR you could meet up at the park and bang out a couple of reps for the world to see. We had a little park playdate/workout today and it's amazing that you don't see mom's getting sweaty at the park more often - all the equipment you could need is right there and your kids are happier than a pig in sh-poop to play.
Our workout today was heavy on the Butt Buster, which burns so nicely. 12-15 reps, 3-4 sets of each

 Butt Buster: Put one leg up (behind you) and get into lunge position. Lunge as low as you can. To make this one extra burny you can jump your lunges.  We did this one every other exercise.

Pull-Ups: using your arms and chest pull your body weight up.   We lucked out with this parks set up, but you can do a similar exercise on a high bar (chin ups) or even lower bars (lay under and pull your upper body up off the ground)

Tri-Dips: Using your upper arms (bending your elbows) slowly lower yourself and lift yourself back up. We made it harder for ourselves by putting our legs up (using more body weight), but you can do it with your feel flat on the ground to make it a bit easier.

Prisoner Squat with 2 Elbow to Knee: Squat with your hands behind your head, when you come back up quickly bring your right elbow and left knee together twice. Squat again, this time on the way back up bring your left elbow to your right knee twice. Always keep your hands behind your head.

I didn't grab any pictures of it, but we also did GIANT box step ups - find a platform to step up and down from - the higher the box/step/platform the better. The one we used, luckily, had handles to help out, but the platform came to about my waist.

Stay tuned, these park workouts might become a regular thing and I really enjoy getting inventive with what exercises work well at the playground (and my kid loves the park lol)
