Ever have those moments where you just can't get to the gym, but still think you need a workout? Look out the window, and head towards your local playground for this awesome workout!!

 

 

 

Swing Knee Tucks

Get in a push-up position with hands on the ground and feet resting on the seat of a swing, shoelaces down. Slowly bend the knees, bringing them in towards the chest while keeping the rest of the body steady and the core strong. Straighten the legs back to the starting position, and repeat for 10-15 reps

 

Monkey Bar Pull Up

 To keep things interesting, start with an overhand grip (palms facing away from the body) and shoot for 3 to 5 pull-ups, then switch to an underhand grip (palms facing the body) for 3 to 5 chin-ups. Still working on this move? Try hanging from the bar with arms extended for 30-second intervals to build arm and shoulder muscles. 

 

Park Bench Push Up

ind a stable, well-anchored park bench (preferably one that’s about waist height). Hold the back of the bench with hands a bit wider than shoulder-width apart. Walk the feet backwards a few steps so the body forms a diagonal line with the ground. Beginners can start almost vertical, while advanced fitness buffs can walk the feet further from the bench for more of a challenge. Next, with the elbows tucked at your sides, lower the torso towards the bench. Hold for a second, keeping the core engaged and the body in a straight line (no sagging butts!), and then return to start position. Repeat for 10-15 reps.

 

Slide Lunge

Stand at the bottom of a slide with your back to the top. Bend the left leg backwards in a lunge position and rest the left foot on the slide with the hands on the hips. Bend the right knee until the thigh is parallel to the ground, and then press through the right heel to rise back up. Complete 10-12 reps, and then switch legs.  

 

Hill Runs

More into running like the wind than pumping iron? Increase speed with some quick hill runs. Find a steeper spot in the park (or a set of stairs) and sprint up the incline 5 to 10 times, jogging back down to flat ground. No hills available? Hit up 10 sprint intervals, maxing out for 30 seconds and jogging for a minute in between bursts.

 

Slide Sit Ups

A playground slide works just like an elevated sit-up bench at the gym. Lie down on the slide with your head pointing towards the bottom. Hook feet around the top of the slide for stability. If that’s too challenging (or slippery!) scoot back up so the calves are resting on the platform at the top of the slide, with just the thighs and torso on the slide. Cross the arms over the chest and sit up until the elbows touch the knees. Try 15-20 reps.

 

well i was a cheerleader a while back, i used to do some of this work out. it works great, however i tried making my girlfriend do the same load as me, and she could not move for a while. so moderation is the key ! work it up! eat healthy!

 

To add on to psyduck's plan (ps. if you can do burpees go for it! its tiring but rewarding but boring  :unsure:  :rolleyes: )

 

Doing small things like avoiding lifts escalators, to having a morning walk to boost metabolism and have plenty of sleep works well too!

    Went for my first bike ride in longer than I can remember (seriously I think it's been at LEAST 17 years since I've ridden a bike).  Man, it was tougher than I thought it would be!  Bike riding, piece of cake right?  Has to be easier than jogging, right?  NOPE.

     

    No wonder durianrider and Freelee are in such good shape!

    We're going to put air in my bike tires and go riding on one of the trails in the city. I can't wait for the thigh and butt pain.

    LOL! :3

    I wish I could keep a bike, but after my 3rd was stolen out of our house (the thief broke out front door to get the bike) I'm not even going to bother.

    Seriously? Of all the things you could steal, you steal a bike? Looks like someone really wanted money (but they could have just taken more valuable things), or really wanted to get in shape.

    I dunno, but my first bike was cut from my chain in our shed. 2nd was cut off a new thick supposedly thief proof chain and so our 3rd I decided to keep inside but they broke in 1 night and took it. Nothing else. Coppers took a freaking good 30 minutes to get here though and by that time whoever took it was long gone. I wish I could get another bike though...

    Wow, good on all of you for getting fit! If you're looking for something different to do, pilates is great (haven't read the entire thread don't know if it's been mentioned sorreh.) Really all you need is a mat to do it and I think it's great for results if you try to keep your core tight! :) Excited to follow this to the end and to encourage me to be more active than walking my dog everyday.

    Welp - I'm back where I started at the beginning of the competition. I would like to say I don't know how it happened, but I do. I got lazy and wasn't watching what I was eating or I snacked too much and wasnt exercising as much as I wanted.

     

    I'm giving myself a 3 week goal - lost 8 lbs. I think it's doable, I'm bloated and have some water weight to shed, and if I start eating clean again I think I can do it.

     

    I'll take all the motivation I can get, I'm a little disappointed in myself, but that's life.

    If you guys are over eaters a couple good ideas are to try and introduce things like quinoa and chia seeds into your diet. They really help with bloat and also will keep you feeling full longer :)

    Cycling kills me. Every time I go, I seize up for days afterwards, it does something very bad to my hip flexors and nothing can be done about it.

    I destroyed my knee on my run at the weekend so I won't be doing much for a good while. I also have near zero appetite though so I expect it will balance out.

    I don't need to lose weight... I've lost the baby weight after I popped out munchkin. But I can't find my ab muscles... and I think I'd like to. So my workout and health goals may be slightly different, but I'm here too! Motivation of any kind is always good! Especially when similar goals of health are there! :D

    I feel like I should threaten to stop reminding you guys to send in your weights, like I do with my employees and their timecards.. but it doesn't work and I end up reminding everyone anyways.

    This can happen after you have kids. Traditional ab workouts can make it worse!

     

    Here's an article about it: http://www.losebabyw...post-pregnancy/

     

    I haven't had kids but I know one of my sisters had seperation
