Strength Workout At The Park
Parks are filled with fitness equipment, like swings... Here's how to use them to tone up!
Why The Park?
It has great tools, like swings, benches, and monkey bars. We asked exercise physiologist Tom Holland, a personal trainer, to put a new spin on some of his favorite moves of all time – squats, lunges, and chin-ups.
Do the moves as a circuit – going immediately from one move to the next. That's one set. Rest for two minutes, then repeat for a total of three sets. Nice work.
Swinge Lunge
Works glutes, hamstrings, and quads.
Stand with your back about one giant step from a one- to two-foot-high swing. Reach back with your right foot and place your toes on the seat (A). With your arms at your sides, sink into a lunge until your left thigh is parallel to the ground (B). Slowly return to start. That's one rep. Do 10, then repeat on the other side.
Sets: 1 per side. Reps: 10.
