Springtime, Playtime!

We had our first break in a long month of winter weather this past weekend!  I was itching to be outside in the sunshine and fresh air.  The bright, warm sun burned all day and I just knew I had to be out in it!  Although, the snow was still slowly melting, my friend and I hit the park!  What??  It's not just for kids!! :)  You can have fun too with these great exercises!

Remember, before beginning any weight work, you must always, and I mean ALWAYS, warm that body up.  Start by walking to the park if it is close, but if you have to drive there, take a few laps (walking/running) around the perimeter of the park to get your body ready for work (or fun, or both).

Equipment:

1.  One legged suspended lunge (as shown here).  Be sure to check alignment, that front knee needs to stay behind the big toe!
2.  Planks
3.  Plank Push-up
4.  Knee Tucks

How are you spending your afternoons?  You should give our fun park-play fitness a try next time you are watching the kiddos!  It's fun and everyone can get involved!  Be sure to do a proper cool down and stretch when you are finished!  This is multi-tasking at it's best!!!
