Welcome to Your Outdoor Push Day!
Living in the UK, I’ve discovered that outdoor workouts can be just as effective as those in the gym. Today, I want to share my go-to push day routine that focuses on dips, push-ups, and overhead presses. You can do this at your local park gym or even in your garden. Trust me, fresh air makes a world of difference!
Workout Breakdown
Start with some dynamic stretches to warm up. I usually do arm circles and shoulder rolls to get my upper body ready. Then, let’s jump into the workout:
- Dips: Find parallel bars or sturdy benches. Aim for 3 sets of 8-12 reps. If you’re new to dips, just focus on your bodyweight. As you progress, you can add resistance bands for extra challenge.
- Push-Ups: Next, we hit the ground with push-ups. I often switch between standard and incline push-ups using benches. Aim for 3 sets of 10-15 reps. If you’re struggling, feel free to drop to your knees.
- Overhead Press: Use a resistance band anchored under your feet. Stand tall and press overhead for 3 sets of 10-12 reps. This is a great way to build shoulder strength without heavy weights.
Final Thoughts
Outdoor workouts can truly be a game changer. I love the feeling of the sun on my skin and the sounds of nature around me. Remember, consistency is key! Don’t hesitate to adjust the reps and sets to match your fitness level. You’ve got this, and I can’t wait for you to enjoy outdoor fitness as much as I do!
