Workout at the Park

Did you know that you might have workout equipment completely free for you to use in your area? We do where I am from. We have an awesome “newer” park that is about 10 minutes from my house. It has a splash pad & playground for the kids, a nature hike, a paved trail and best of all free workout equipment!

Most of these you can find at your local gym with the weights on it, here though you use your own body weight and it's a workout too, especially when you do several sets of 12-15 reps for the arms and several set of 20-30 reps for the legs!

I went to the park on Saturday to change it up plus it was such a beautiful day how could you want to be inside? I did 4 sets with 12 reps on each arm machine, I then did 4 sets with 30 reps on the legs. After that I walked the paved trail which is over a mile long.

Below are the pictures of the equipment at our park.

I had a blast doing the machines, it was so nice to be doing something different! On the paved trail you could ride your bike, jog and walk. If you have kids they could play while you get a workout in.

So make sure you are doing some research on the parks in your area, you never know what you might find!

You don't always have to hit the gym to get in a workout but wherever you are make sure you get something in every day. Weather it be in your own home, your own neighborhood or a local park! Keep moving!

Materials: Cheesecloth Styrofoam mannequin heads Sponge brush Watered-down glue or fabric stiffener Screw eyes Monofilament Removable adhesive hooks (like command brand or painters tape). Steps: Apply a layer of cheesecloth to the head, then generously brush over head and face with glue. Use hands to smooth the cloth into the facial features.
