Playground Workouts #2

Warm up: Swift walk or jog around playground area 5 times.
Exercise #1: Walking lunges. Going around the playground twice lunging with knees at right angles, keeping your front knee over your ankle and your posture tall and lifted.
Exercise #2: 10 burpees. To perform a burpee, put your hands on the ground next to your feet, jump your feet back into a plank position, perform one push up and jump back up.

Exercise #3: 12 triceps dips with hands on the park bench, feet on the ground. Lift left leg off the ground for 6 reps, then the right foot off the ground for 6 reps. (Doing these dips will ensure you never have jello arms, and you can wave confidently, knowing nothing is flapping!)

Run through this routine one more time if you have the time for it and/ or want to burn more calories and get that endorphin rush big time:) Keep it up! Maybe your kids will join you and you will feel even better knowing what a great example you are setting!
