Playground Fitness
Playgrounds: a disguised (and free) outdoor gym with limitless possibilities. I think I am going to make a tab specifically for Playground Workouts. They are quick, fun and a great way to spend time with and interact with your kid(s).
The great thing about where we live is that there are TONS of awesome parks. By awesome I mean huge, with tons of equipment. There is one gym, er I mean playground, with actual parallel bars! Talk about a great apparatus! But I digress...
My workout at the playground today consisted of 10 pull ups, 10 ankles to the bar, 20 incline pushups and 50 air squats for time. The pull ups and ankles to the bar take me quite a long time. So this may not look like much to some, but for me it is pretty difficult.
I am not to the level of fitness where I can just knock those bad boys out all at once. I need to take breaks and get right back at it. I love that about fitness! Quantifiable ways to improve. The mathy engineer in me really likes that!
