Outdoor bodyweight workout for this gorgeous Saturday


Tomorrow's weather in T.O. is supposed to be about 14 degrees and sunny. So thought it might be a great idea for the desk bound inside dwellers to find a way to get outside, sweat a little and soak up some precious Vitamin D.

So here's a workout you can do outside, anywhere tomorrow! Whoever does this workout over the weekend and sends me a picture of their sweaty selves will get a gold star and a prize! You heard it. You can earn yourself a $20 gift certificate for anything at Urbanfitt just for having the discipline to kick your own butt outside. No cheating!

This weekend warrior workout is a quickie! It'll take you about 30 minutes max. Try to find a field or a spacious park to do it.

Here goes:

Warm up with some:
10 Inch worms
10 Dynamic leg and arm swings (each)
16 Reserve lunges

Now the hard part:
1) Sprint at full speed down the length of the field/track/path 3 times (about 30-45 seconds)
2) Lunge back all the way
3) Drop and do 15 muay thai push ups (see video below). If you can't do muay thai push ups then regular ones will do ;)

4) Stay in push up position and do 20 firehydrants/mountain climbers
5) Find a bench or a ledge and do 15-20 tricep dips

Do it all again at least two more times.

Then make sure you stretch your butt, hamstrings, hip flexors and whatever needs it.

Enjoy the sweat! Remember if you do it take a picture of as proof and get a little pressie.
