Get Out of Your Rut and Get Some Fresh-Air Fitness

It’s so easy to get caught in a rut. As routine oriented as humans are, we sometimes find ourselves going to the gym, day in and day out, ultimately leading us to feel bored, tired, and in the worst cases, like quitting. This outdoor workout is designed to provide you with a simple way to get out and enjoy the weather and break it up from the monotony of the gym.

Since these are body weight movements, it’s not recommended to replace more than 1-2 days per week with these workouts. Give this workout a try in this order for a quick, high-intensity cardio burn that not only recruits some new muscle fibers but burns up some of that subcutaneous fat as well!
