We love the gym, but there’s something about working out outside that makes the experience much more enjoyable. Maybe it’s the ability to people-watch as we work out or the fact that it provides us with an opportunity to spend a little time in nature, depending on where we go. It can be a bit tricky to accomplish all of our fitness goals without the convenience of weights and machines, but we don’t like to let that stop us. There are plenty of companies that now offer portable, easy-to-clean equipment perfect for use in an outdoor setting. Here are some of the pieces we like to bring with us wherever we workout:
Tangram LED Smart Rope
Jumping rope has never been safer or more fun with this light-up jump rope by Tangram. It can connect to your smartphone to track jump counts, workout times, and more!
Lululemon Reversible Mat
Lululemon’s yoga mats are made with an antimicrobial additive to prevent them from becoming a home for mold and mildew, so they’re perfect for outdoor workouts. Beyond just yoga, they’re also great for mat pilates and bodyweight strength exercises.
Bala Bangles
Traditional weights can be heavy and awkward to carry, so we love using wrist and ankle weights whenever we want to get a good workout outdoors. Fitness brand Bala makes weights in 1 and 2 lb. options available in seven different colors!
