Take your workout outdoors for strength training in your local park

Not being able to go to a gym after developing a solid routine is frustrating to say the least. With gyms open one minute and closed the next, many people have been left fretting over what will become of their hard sought gains. It’s easy to think that all the months of hard work was for nothing. But the good news is, you can still build muscle effectively using your own bodyweight similar to lifting iron. All you need to do is head out into the nature and find your local park. 

Taking your workout outdoors means you can still gain definition, torch fat and keep your metabolism revved up long after your workout is done. You only need a few props to push against and pull on and some wide-open space. By using aides generally found in most parks, you can move your body and activate all the muscles you’re accustomed to when working out in a gym. You’ll no doubt be reminded of your childhood when performing some of these fun bodyweight exercises. But don’t be fooled into thinking it’s a walk in the park. Though it may look like you’re playing, a workout in the park will put your whole body through its limits.
