Sexy Summer Body by Ian McGriff, P.T.
It’s summer time. It’s warm, sunny and beautiful outside. You don’t
want to head into the gym to get your strength training in but you
still need to do it. If only there’s a way that you can do you’re
strength training outside…not a problem. Here’s all you need: one
tubular resistance band with handles, playground equipment, and a
readiness to work. Follow this program and you can get all of your
upper and lower bodywork done in a creative and fun way.
Playground equipment is great to use because of its versatility for
strength training. So find a large piece of equipment that gives you
lots of options and as you progress you can become creative with your
own playground.
Warm-Up - Jumping Jacks 50
Lunge 30
Dips 30 (Use park bench, platform, or step)
Pushups 20
Repeat
Squats with overhead press 30
(Stand on the resistance band with handles in hand at shoulder height.
As you come to the top of your squat press overhead. Be sure to return
hands to shoulder height slowly and with control)
Upright Row 30
(Place resistance band around a pole, stand shoulder-with apart making
certain that there is enough resistance)
Repeat
Lat Pull Down 30
(Find a pole or other straight object that runs parallel with the
ground like monkey bars. Wrap the tube around the pole, grab the
handles and have a seat on the ground. Here you are in perfect position
to perform a lat pull down)
Bicep Curls 30
(Place the band under your feet while holding the handles and curl)
Repeat Now you can get all of your strength training in without having
to head to the gym on those beautiful summer days. Use this program to
give yourself an alternative and some variety in your workouts. Then
get creative with the playground equipment that you use and discover
new ways to get in your exercises.
