Bodyweight Circuit

Now that the weather is nice here in Portland, what better way to get a workout in than to be outside in the sun? You can soak up some vitamin D as well as enjoy the fresh air. You don't need anything for this workout but you! Try this workout in the park, around your neighborhood or anywhere you like.
Jog 1 minute/Power Walk 1 minute **alternate this for about 6 minutes to warm up

Walking Lunges x 20 *Try this up a hill or down a hill for a fun challenge
Mountain climbers x 20 *Tap your toes if you don't want to jump
Push ups x 10 *Drop to your knees or use a park bench for your hand to modify
Side plank leg lifts ( Use a park bench or a chair for your hand to rest, feet on the floor and stacked, lift and lower your top leg for 1 minute)
Tricep dips x20
Side Plank leg lifts (other side)
Skips (Bring back memories and skip like a kid) 1 minute
Chair or Bench 1 leg squats x 1o per leg (Lifting one leg in front and keeping the other leg on the ground, sit back onto the chair without touching down and then raise back up to a stand. Stay balancing on one leg!)
Crab Crawls (crawl like a crab..look for a hill, you are on all 4's with your chest facing the sky) 1 minute
Laydown stand up (no hands! lay down and then stand back up..it is harder than it sounds) x20
Sprints * Take off for a fast 100 yard dash and then or walk for an active recovery (30 seconds)-3 minutes total
