Man it has been a good lead-in to summer. I’ve been outside doing workouts for a couple of months. Hope you have too. My favorite spots are the track at Glenbard West in Glen Ellyn and the park across from my house. I just grab a kettlebell or two and go. There are benches to jump on and  over. There are monkey bars to do chinups, sprints in the grass or on the track, run the stairs.

Here are a couple cool exercises for the next time you’re in a park. Pushups on the swings, put one hand on each of two swings, one foot on the ground. Pushups. If that is too much, try both feet on the ground and use a wide stance.

Number two is an inverted row. Stand between two swings, grab a chain with each hand and lean back and do a chinup or rowing movement.

See you outside.
