Do you want to take it outside ?

I have been in the beautiful Blue River, British Columbia of Canada for work. I am working with Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing Resort on a new project which is the best image_029.jpgproject I ever worked and possibly will ever work, hands down. I literally fell in love with the place. On top of my routine, I am biking and running for more than an hour almost every day after I call it quits in the office. Although there is a gym available here, outdoors is just too beautiful to leave. It is definitely very refreshing to be out in the nature for even a little while and I definitely encourage anyone to do so if possible. And if you decide to ‘take it outside’, here are a few outdoors exercises to keep in mind.

 

1.       PUSH UPS

No matter how many new machines will be designed for chest and triceps, I don’t think I will give up on push-ups..

 

2.       PLANKS

Planks have been my favorite for my abs lately as they are very effective and intense. Rusty of http://fitnessblackbook.com tells his routine with planks which I highly recommend.

 

3.       SQUATS

Squats are very effective when done appropriately. When done incorrectly, squats lose a lot on effectiveness. The sites I stumbled upon mostly advice to start doing squats without weights to learn the right way of doing it.

 

4.       LUNGES

While doing lunges make sure that your torso is erect with a good arch in your back. Keep your back and abdominal muscles tensed throughout. Lastly, for the leg you step with, the knee should stay directly above the ankle.
