“Nature is a gym. Membership is free.”

A street or outdoor workout is a very popular sport in which competitions are even held. It is not surprising, because in order to exercise, you do not need any expensive equipment or gym membership. All you need is your desire and the nearest sports ground. That’s enough for a start.

What do you need for this?

You don’t need to hire a trainer or read exercise books to workout. There is a large number of athletes on the You Tube platform who show and tell how and what to do. However, you should be careful not to overload yourself right away, as this can lead to injury. I advise you to choose exercises and programs for beginners and gradually increase your level. From my own experience, I can recommend this channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMiamiTrainer. The author of the channel is a hard-working pro who went all the way from a simple guy who knew nothing to a real monster (in a good way) in the world of the outdoor workout.

Where to start?

To begin with, you need to decide on the purpose of the workout. If you want to become stronger, it is best to train at a slow pace with maximum load on the set muscles. This can be done thanks to the crossbar, bars and squats with extra weight, which can be a bottle of water of 5 liters. The result will not be immediate, but after a while you will see and feel the changes. However, if you decide to lose weight, a workout is also suitable! In this case, you should focus on a high rate of exercise, i.e. as little rest and work as much as possible. Good exercises will be: jumping rope, running on the spot, push-ups with jumps. Considerable attention should also be paid to nutrition, because if you eat McDonald’s every day, and then train – you will not get the desirable result, or it will be minimal.

Why should you try?

Personally, for me, the street workout has become something really necessary over time, because during exercises, our brain secretes a number of enzymes that improve the work of the whole body. Fresh air and more oxygen, sun exposure and sensory stimulation… what could be better? In addition, this way you strengthen your health. I advise everyone to try themselves in this sport and advise others if they like it. Good luck to all!
