Why stay in when you can go out?

After a long winter stuck exercising in the gym, sometimes it can be hard to get in there on a sunny spring day. You could always opt for jog or bike ride, but sometimes it’s nice to have something a little different. Here is what I do when I’m craving a little outside variety:
Head over to your nearest high school track, and start off with an easy 400-800m jog. Followed by:
For first 400m (1 lap):
                Jog 100m
                5 Burpees
For second 400m:
                Jog 100m
                10 push-ups
For third 400m:
                Jog 100m
                15 sit-ups
For forth 400m:
                Jog 100m
                20 squats
That’s 1 mile of exercising, not too bad right? If you are feeling up to it, do it again! Or try something a little more difficult…
For first 400m:
                Lunge walk 100m
                Backpedal  100m
For second 400m:
                 Skipping w/ hand clap (under knee) 100m
                30 Mountain Climbers
For third 400m:
                Backward lunge walk 100m
                Side shuffle 100m
For forth 400m:
                Sprint 100m
                50 flutter kicks (on back)
If you aren’t tired, you’d better go hit the stadium stairs.
Hope you get out and enjoy the nice weather, that Idaho winter will be back again before you know it!
