3 Equipment-Free Outdoor Workouts To Get You Moving This Spring

Activity #3: Outdoor HIIT Session

Grab your yoga mat and take your workout outside. There are so many exercises that you can do without any equipment that will also get your heart rate up. I usually like to design these workouts to be 45 seconds of work and 15 seconds of rest for five rounds.

HIIT workouts are a great way to target your whole body and they’ll keep you feeling energized for the rest of the day. To target the lower body, you can do some jump lunges, squats, skaters, or hip bridges. To target your abs, you can do some leg raises, plank jacks, sit ups, or scissors.

Whichever HIIT routine you try, alternate your moves with cardio exercises like burpees, jumping jacks, or high knees, and you’ve got yourself an intense workout.

…And there you have it! A few equipment-free activities you can do outdoors to get your heart rate up and get you moving in the fresh spring air. Remember: the most important part of working out is having fun while doing it.
