With the summer right around the corner it is time to take advantage of this beautiful weather. Here are my 5 favorite reasons to get out of the gym and get fit outdoors.
5. It’s a good routine buster
4. There are no crowds to deal with outside versus the gym where it really busy this time of year
3. You can sing out loud with your music and not feel embarrassed
2. Clothing is optional
1. You will get a tan, so you will look leaner whether or not you lose any weight

Try my outdoor workout:
All you need is your iPhone or timer and two full water bottles.
- Set your music playlist to how long you are going to work out (optional) . Lets say 45 minutes
- Set your interval timer for every 3 minutes (45/3=15 sets)
- Start jogging!
- Every time the timer goes off you stop right where you are at and do 15 pushups, 15 lateral shoulder raises, 15 front shoulder raises, and 15 overhead shoulder presses using your water bottles.
Push Ups
Lateral Raise
Front Shoulder Raise
Shoulder Press
- This short sequence shouldn’t take a longer than 45 seconds. Each time the timer goes off you will do one less until you are down to one rep of everything. (15, 14, 13, 12,….3, 2, 1)
Continue jogging!
Every time a new songs begins. Stop and do 20 squat jumps and one short 50 yard sprint (about 15-20 strides)
Continue jogging!Be the best you can be!Tommy Lam
