Tired Of The Gym?

At some point I believe everybody gets either sick of being surrounded by the same walls or sick of the crowds that seem to accumulate mostly on Guilty Monday's and from 5pm until 7pm. While it's great to have a well equipment and fun gym at your disposal, try mixing it up a bit.

Do a workout at the park. Find a path that has an adequate amount of benches for instance. You can do different drills between benches:

• High knees
• Butt Kickers
• Lunges
• Squat Jumps
• Sprints
• Bear-crawls

And every time you get to a bench, the exercise door opens again:

• Push ups
• Close grip Push ups
• Dips
• Step Ups
• Jump Ups (make sure the benches are sturdy enough)

Do a workout in your yard. There are plenty of body-weight based exercises for which you do not need a gym or any equipment for that matter: You'll be surprised how good of a workout you'll get.

• Jumping Jacks
• Burpees
• Push Ups
• Sit Ups
• Planks
• Sprints
• Lunges
• Squats
• Bear-crawls
• Squat jumps
• etc.

Go for a interval based bike ride. Find a path with some hills. Sprint on the way up and coast on the way down. Why not stop in between for a quick set of burpees and push ups?
