PARKS N' REPS
As the warm weather arrives, so does our desire to be outdoors. We try to make the most of our
longer days and warm summer evenings by spending as little as possible indoors and maximizing
our time outdoors. For some, this also means spending less time working out at a gym or studio and
putting their workout regimen on hold to enjoy our limited/short summer season – This does not
have to be the case. You can get your vitamin D and get your workout on at the same time with this
outdoor workout circuit. Head to your closest park, claim an empty park bench and go!
