Well summer is finally here for real now in Canada, altough it did snow here in Calgary two weeks ago! Summer is a great time to take your training outside and get creative. Have some fun and losen up a bit!
Here is the simple outdoor workout I did Thursday. The purpose of this workout was simply to elevate my metabolism and improve athleticism a bit.
- Bike Ride easy, 10 mins
- Hills Sprints, 20 mins total including rest periods
- Pull-ups and Push-ups at the park
- Bike Ride hard, sprints, 15 minutes total
- Mobility Drills
I should have done the mobility work first but I was so excited to get outside I forgot until I arrived at the hill. For some reason I feel like a dork doing hip circles in a park by myself so I just trained and then loosened up afterwards. Not ideal I know, but real life rarely is!
The workout I did here is not overly important, what is important is that training outside in fresh air and real sunlight is great for you. Your mood will improve and it will make training fun again! Nothing beats dragging your kettlebells or weights outside and blasting away in the sun with your shirt off!

I have a question. I have started Tabata Swings and was wondering how many days a week to utilise this type of workout? Thanks!
Hello ToJen, Tabata swings are really intense and will be hard to "get up for" if you do them regularly. I would say twice a week is ideal, and three times a week would be the max.
You can do all kinds of intervals that are highly effective though. Play around with work and rest times to keep things fresh!
