3 Outdoor workouts for spring (build muscle & burn fat)

With spring upon us and summer around the corner, now is the perfect time to move your workouts outside. The great weather and fresh air will help motivate you to move your body and work up a sweat. Plus, it’s easy to bring friends along and do outdoor workouts together. Try our 3 strengthening workouts that will shake up your routine, get you outdoors and maximise your fitness results 🌳☀️

How to start outdoor workouts 🌳

The benefits of working out outside are amazing:

• you don’t need a gym membership,

• you can do it anywhere,

• you have more space than in your living room,

• it’s easier to workout with a partner or friend, and

• you can enjoy the sunny weather

​ If you're ready, here are a few tips on getting started with outdoor workouts:

1. Schedule in your workouts in your calendar - aim to get all 3 workouts in every week

2. Find a park or open space where you can move around. Ideally somewhere with a bench or chair - you’ll need it for our workouts

3. Check the weather and dress appropriately for it

4. Bring water (and potentially a mat and dumbbells if you have)

5. Use your phone as a timer for time-based circuits
