If you prefer working out outside, rather than being trapped in a smelly gym, you should always plan your workout ahead of time. Here’s what you need to think about before you head outside for your next exercise session.
Write Down Your Workout
Writing down your workouts will help you stay organized. You should think ahead of time what you want to do that day. If you prefer yoga, don’t just choose random poses once you are outside, there are plenty of audio or video workouts you can follow.
Select a Location
Once you have decided what type of exercises you want to perform, you can now choose the location to do your workout. Make sure there is plenty of space, shade, and access to water. For example, if you plan on doing bodyweight circuit training, find a spot with benches or picnic tables for step ups and dips.
However, if you are more of a yoga person, find a peaceful place and stay away from kid’s playgrounds.
Bring Some Equipment
Working out outside will limit the number of exercises you can perform, so if you can, bring some extra equipment with you. If you are going by car, find a good parking spot where you can easily access your equipment. However, if you love going by bike, choose lightweight equipment you can carry with you.
