Train for adventure!
This is a buddy workout. You need at least one other person to complete this workout or else plan on doing a TON of reps!If you have kids, no excuses! They can ride in the stroller, bike or run with you! Plan on 60-90 minutes for this one…
Warm-up and then……….
Run to the first park and complete the following with your partner (split the reps however you choose):
100 Tree donkey kicks*
75 Dips
50 Hanging knees to elbows
25
Lunge hops
Run to park #2 and complete the following (split the reps with your partner):
100 meter alligator crawl (do this one together)*
75 park bench box jumps (or step-ups for level 1)
50 Tree hugger situps*
25 burpee pop-ups or pullups
OPTION 1: Run home- great job!
OPTION 2: Run 1 mile away from the last park and back THEN repeat the entire workout in reverse (starting with the 25 burpee pop-ups and going up from there) before heading home. You are a rock star!
This is a workout I put together for our sister site. It’s a perfect workout to build upper body and grip strength needed to conquer the monkey bars, rigs, rope/wall climbs and cargo nets for your obstacle course race. Plus, working out on the playground is fun!!
