Switching it up a bit today, Alex solo today. Keeping it light and practical with a few tips and exercises you can do at home or playground to make the most of your outdoor time!
Playground/driveway/yard ideas~
- Squats - many variations: add a lift to toes, jump, shuffle + squat and/or jump, on their own or in between swing pushes
- Walking lunges - with your kids
- Use a bench, bottom of a slide or random edge/log for step ups, bulgarian split squats (one foot back), parallel single leg squats/legs dip
- Crab or Bear Walks - have kids do it with you so you don’t look totally crazy
- Arm rows pulling kid in swing
- Plank with forearms on swing
- Try out the equipment doing the monkey bars or pull ups
A couple reps or minutes to help improve mood, get the blood flowing and show kids good habits. Just do whatever you can whenever you can - it all counts!
