The beauty of training outdoors

Ask yourself these questions…

Have you ever went to your local gym with a plan in your head for a workout, and when you got there the gym was so busy there was no space or equipment available?
Have you scraped that plan and just hopped on a treadmill or bike and relied on good old cardio for your workout (I’m not bagging cardio so just stay with me)… Only to go through the motions because some inconsiderate people decided to use up all the space and equipment the same time you were ( how dare they ).

Well here is the perfect  strength/cardio program for the great outdoors. Where there is no chance of any in considerate, over crowded, sweaty, and recycled air people to wreak your buzz.

The Workout: 20-2

In this workout you will preform 20 or 10 reps (depending on the exercise) and run 40m (20 there and back). You will then drop 2 reps every time you come back from the run until you get down to 2 reps before you move to the next exercise. You can also time yourself and use it as a target for the next time you do it. If you’re really keen you can also increase the run depending on your fitness level.
