Filling playgrounds with fun, fitness and kids of all ages
I had such a good workout the first time it wasn’t long to get back out for a second trip to the playground with that 40lb dumbbell. I got through a bunch more stuff but I still got some ideas of how to mix in some weight to a playground workout so keep an eye out for the third installment next week.
Here’s the first video:
I usually use just my bodyweight when I exercise at the playground but in honor of turning 40 in a couple weeks I decided to grab a 40 lb. dumbbell and head to the playground. I used it traditionally for a bit and then started to mix in the playground apparatus toward the end, resulting in a pretty good overall workout. There’s so much potential here I think I’ll be exploring this a couple more times here in the near future.
When I find a new playground I prefer to not go to it with a plan but just see what unfolds. That’s what happened the other day so I thought I would film it and show an example of what I do when I go to play/exercise at a new playground.
Remember the game you used to play as a kid? The floor was lava and all you had to was not touch it. I love that concept and the playground offers a great environment…
The next installment of the Fit Series gets us jumping. I barely scratched the surface here- this could have been even longer but I focused on mostly around the playground even though there was a ton more to jump on here…
The latest installment of the Fit Series sees us hanging out at a local park… literally.
The next installment is in. Balance is everywhere at your local playground…
Now it’s time to see how many different ways I can do push-ups and dips at a newly discovered playground…
The second installment in the Playground Fit Series, focusing on core training. Just about every angle, direction and intensity you can imagine can be hit using a playground for a core workout…
How many different ways can you do pull-ups at a playground? I thought I’d find out…
Turns out there’s a ton of different pull-ups at the playground.
