How to Get a Great Workout at the Playground

This may sound like a strange concept, but what if you could just head over to the playground and still get a really good workout? Most of us remember swinging from the monkey bars as kids, so why not use it for a good workout tool when you’re older!

This idea actually comes from John Berardi of Precision Nutrition. The story goes that one day he couldn’t get into his gym, but instead of just missing the workout he used some ingenuity and got a great workout over at the local playground. It worked out to be a good workout, so he actually recorded the same idea so that you can watch and learn the same techniques that he used for this workout.

Here’s the link to the videos (if you don’t have a membership to Precision Nutrition, you can either sign up for a full membership or a free subscription to see the videos): The Playground Workout

This idea goes along with our post a short while back about getting creative and getting some good out door workouts. Give it a try and get some variety!
