Playground Fitness Part 1
Coach Rylan No Comments »In the heat of summer, few of us like the thought of being cooped up in a stuffy gym. With these playground exercises, I hope to inspire you to take your fitness program outside for a change, and use some of the many excellent resources you can find at any park or playground. This is the first mini-workout in a three part series.
Playground Mini-Circuit #1
Complete each exercise, one after the other, taking no rest between exercises. Take a 60 second rest at the end of each circuit, and repeat for a total of 4 circuits. To add cardio to this circuit, complete 60 seconds of jogging in place or jumping jacks at the beginning and end of each circuit.
a) Chin-Downs: 8-10 Reps (for each full chin-up you can do, take one rep off)
b) Reverse Pull-Ups: 12 Reps (high bar) or 8 Reps (low bar)
c) Hanging Knee Lift: 8-10 Reps (pause by resting feet on the ground if need be, but don’t let go of bars)
d) Jogging In Place or Jumping Jacks: 60 seconds (optional)
