How to Work Out Outdoors WatchMojo.com Veronica: Hi I’m Veronica at WatchMojo.com and today Jennifer Cohen of No Gym Required shows us great moves that could be adapted for all fitness levels. Jennifer: This is a side plank we stack our feet together and it’s really great because it works multiple body parts. It works your arm y our shoulder and your abs and if you just slightly tilt downwards even using your arm it increases the intensity and works our obliques and you do a few like that and then of course a regular plank where you have support on both sides of your body. It’s easier than just doing a one side and of course you can just switch stack your feet up. Again put your arm up and then work your obliques. Now if this is so too difficult for you a variation from this if you can’t if you don’t have the strength to do this you can start by just either putting your foot in front of the other like so or even going down on a knee like that. So this is a beginner intermediate like that, stacking one on top of the other in advance. The squat is a king of all exercises because it really, really engages your gluts and your legs and you could do this anywhere you are. If you’ve never done a squat a before, make sure you put a chair or a bench behind you so you get the form correct. All you do is stand about a foot and a half in front of your chair of choice and you sit down and then you squeeze up. Sit down, squeeze up. Now when gets to be too easy for you, you could take a step out and just do the same movement. Make sure the weight is on your heels not your toes and you’ll hold it for seconds and then squeeze it up. To get your heart rate up a great cardio first you can do at a park if you see a park bench is just doing sap up just like you would on regular stairs all you do is step up and then step down. You could do 10 on your right side. You could either put your arms on your side. On your hips or in front of you for extra support and then you can just change sides to your left. Now if you want to even increase the intensity you can always take that step right but include a jump so you go up, switch, down, up, switch, down. So for the third version I’m going to use my model Laurence to display the more advanced and of course the version that lots of guys like to use. Laurence will show you how to do an explosive jump so make sure you see how Laurence’s feet are completely on the bench. He pauses and then he jumps back. Do about 10 to 15 of these really get a jumps your heart right out and it’s the advanced version of the two that I showed you earlier. WatchMojo.com
