KB workout in the park

Today’s session is great “minimalist” – style workout you can in the park, on a nice day.

Grab your KB, find a bar to hang from and do your leg raises, and you’re ready to rock!

Let’s do this – I’ll coach you through it:

WARM UP

Let’s get the hips and shoulders warmed up to get to ready to rock.

Do this:

– 15 easy bodyweight squats – get low, hold the bottom position on each rep for a second or two
– :20 plank hold from the forarms
– 8 wall slides (Face away from a wall. Back up to it and “stick em up” – your heels, butt, shoulders, and back of the head should be touching the wall. Slowly slide your hands from up and down the wall, keeping all the mentioned points of contact as well as the elbows and hands the whole time.)
– 8 easy alternating reverse lunges per leg
– 8 easy push ups
– 8 wall slides again
