If you’re like me, then you probably like to hit the gym a couple times a week and strength train.
There is something very rewarding about facing the heavy weights, doing some AGT training, and seeing my tribe that is rewarding.
However, we are currently (most of us anyway) in Quarantine, so …
Sometimes it’s hard (impossible right now for some) to make it to the gym, or to follow a workout routine—especially as the weather gets nicer.
That’s why…
I want to give you some refreshing ways to workout outside—without it necessarily feeling like exercise.
These exercises may be fun and challenging…
And may be as rewarding as it is when you finish your gym workout.
So…here are some different workouts you can do in the great outdoors:
1. Hiking
There are many different hikes around our area. Some may be rugged hikes up steep mountains, while others may be less strenuous and a little more enjoyable.
But whatever type of hike you decide to do…just remember, it’s an acceptable form of exercise.
Not only are you hitting your cardiovascular system and making it stronger, you’re also giving your legs and upper body a workout by climbing, reaching, or stepping up on rocks or ledges.
2. Gardening
There is no better workout than getting down and dirty—in your garden.
You think I was gonna say something else? Dirty bird (you’re not wrong) …
Pulling weeds or planting new plants can help strengthen, or not weaken, your legs, arms, back, thighs, and your core with all the up and down, and tugging old plants out.
After a few hours of this, I can guarantee your legs may feel a little wobbly, and your arms might be a little sore, especially if you get some roots!
3. Train Outdoors
Most of you know how I feel about strength training and heck, I even give an annual PSA not to forget it when the weather gets nicer, like now.
Even though this is exercise, it is a lot of fun to train outdoors, because you don’t need always need a gym.
You could use your bodyweight, Resistance Bands, a suspension trainer in a tree, or even bring a few kettlebells outside if you want.
Possibilities are endless.
These are just a few different activities that you can do outside that are also considered “fun”.
I encourage you to “think outside of the box,” when it comes to exercise and get creative as you get moving.
Got any others to add to the list?

P.S. Here are 4 more ways you can become happier and healthier:
1. Podcasts
Some of the greatest insights and healing for me, have come from listening to podcasts in the last few years. This long-form type of communication, I’ve found, has been extremely important for understanding context, while learning how to make sustainable change.
