by Emma Smith 5 years ago We all find our own ways to stay consistent in our workouts. For some, that means getting up at a certain time in the morning or going out at the same time each night. For others, that means doing the same routine of workouts in the same place.
And for some still, working out in the great outdoors is what motivates them and keeps them physically active. Working out while outside certainly can have its benefits: you get fresh air and sunshine added into your workout, giving your body a great number of different things that it needs.
But what exercise equipment can you use outside to maximize your efforts and have you experiencing the sunshine?
Balance Beam or Parallel Bars
These are very simple and easy to install and are far more affordable than buying a huge, clunky piece of equipment. Working on a balance beam or a parallel bar gives you the ability to work on your balance firs and foremost. Working on your balance helps to strength your legs and core.
They also make for a great upper body workout. Having to lift and control your body using your arms can be taxing but can lead to quite the results. You could tuck the bar neatly off to the side of your yard so that it isn’t just sitting in the yard.
Bar Fence
A bar fence stands upright and has rungs like a ladder. This is a great piece of equipment for working your arms, legs, and core as you climb up and over again and again. Line the bars, this piece of equipment sits off to the side, out of the way when you are not using it.
Because of the total workout that it allows for, you may not need another piece of equipment when you use a bar fence, enjoying the great outdoors, the sunshine, and getting in a total body workout.
Sit-Up Table
Doing sit-ups can have wonderful benefits for your core. When you get a sit-up table, you get a clean, flat surface to lay down on with an additional foot holder to keep your knees bent and your feet on the ground, keeping you from doing half-assed sit-ups.
Best of all, it is incredibly simple to use and allows you to strengthen your core and abdominal muscles with each workout. Simplicity can often be incredibly helpful in your workouts.
