If you missed Part 1 (upper body) of my outdoor workout series, click here to check it out! If you’ve already tried the workout, GOOD JOB! To continue with my Workout Wednesday posts, I have put together Part 2 (lower body) for you below. Remember you can workout anywhere and don’t need an indoor gym to do these workouts:
- Side Step Up: Step with your body facing a step or a bench and step up on your right side, using the push off of your stable left leg. Emphasize bringing your knee up rather than your elbow down. Return to starting position and do 12 reps. Fitness focus on core, obliques, glutes, hamstrings
- Walking Lunges: Step forward right your right foot, hands on your waist. make sure both legs create a 90 degree angle as you walk forward. Keep your upper body straight. Return to starting position and do 20 lunges one way, then turn around and do 20 lunges back to the starting point. Focus point is hamstrings, glutes, balance.
- Running: If there are stairs, run up and down 3 times, alternating a step every time. Next 3 reps, try running facing the stair railing so your feet are criss crossing as you run up each stair. Core focus is cardio and keeping the heart rate up.
- Jump Squats: Jump up the steps/stairs with feet apart in a squat position. Run down, and repeat 3 times. Core focus is hamstrings, glutes, cardio, abs.
- STRETCH IT OUT 🙂
Most importantly, have fun and be creative wherever your workout takes you!Be creative and build on the ideas I gave you. Turn your fitness program into something you look forward to doing! Enjoy the outdoors and love the feeling you get once you’ve completed a great workout.
