Workout in the Park

Posted on Jun 23rd 2008 9:23AM by Fitz K.

I love multitasking! Any opportunity I get to kill two or more birds with one stone gets me giddy. I'm a busy woman with far too much to do, and when things get done in an efficient and pleasing way...I feel elated. Where am I going with this, you ask? Women's Health recently published this Park Workout and I thought you may need to see it as well.

If you have kids, I'm guessing there is a 99.9% chance that they like to run around and play at the playground. If this is true, then I'm talking to you. Let your kids and their buddies have their fun while you get a workout. No use sitting on that park bench anymore....use it for a glute training! Utilize the swings, monkey bars, and more.

And! Don't feel silly. Even if there are a bunch of parents around checking you out....you know they're probably just wishing they had the gumption to be as fit and ambitious as you are. Maybe the next time you plan to train at the park, you'll have some partners!

Disclaimer *** Children are NOT required. Adults are free to roam about and utilize the playground equipment at their leisure. Please do not feed them though.
