The Underground playground assault

1. Hit this (link below) on vacation out on the Cape – found a great playground, away from the beach – not a lot of workout freaks on the cape, so I got a ton of dirty looks…

3. I am outdoors mostly all around the year. there is nothing better than fresh air – the biggest and best gym in the world!

   my favourites are hill sprints, sled drags, rope climbs, bear crawls, log work (front squats, overhead carries) and kettlebell circuits.

   when a comrade is training with me, we are also making a lot of buddy carries!

   Me and around 15 guys are hitting the kettlebells every week outdoors, on Brighton beach, South Coast, England.
   Check out what we’re doing.
   Keep up the good work…loving the site!

5. There’s NOTHING that compares with a good outdoor workout. I HATE working out indoors, particularly in the summertime.

   Here’s a circuit routine I’ve been doing with my two older sons (ages 10 and 9 — although they don’t do EVERYTHING I do) —

   Warmup:

   Hindu pushups — 1 set of 100 reps

   (two minute recovery period)

   Hindu jumper squats — 1 set of 100 reps

   (two minute recovery period)

   Round 1

   Pushups (standard) — 1 minute
   Leg raises — 1 minute
   Hindu pushups — 1 minute
   Rope skipping — 1 minute
   Squat-jumps — 1 minute

   (one minute recovery)

   Round 2

   Hindu squats
   40 lb. DB curls (I don’t have any bigger ‘bells yet)
   Mountain climbers
   Situps
   Takedown lunges

   (one minute recovery)

   Round 3

   Pushup/dumbbell row
   Jump squats
   Dumbbell curl & press
   Leg lifts
   Pushups

6. LOVE to workout outside!!!! Me and most of my football guys hit the grass on weekends and do:

   sled forward drags down and back

   KB snacthes

   pull-ups different grips

   dips
   after about 4 rounds of that we hit the bleachers and face them going up. We do 10 push-ups per sit all the way up to the top. Shake it off and then do 10 per sit all the way back down on a decline of course!!!!! Love it. It’s just so hot here in the south now. saps your energy level big time

7. There is a old little fitness cicuit down at the beach where I live. The thing had pull up bars dip bars rings all kinds of stuff. I would go down before work at like 430 am and work out. A couple of times there was bums sleeping down there and would look at me like I was crazy. Sprints on the sand, bringing an big stuff sack to fill with sand. All kinds of body weight work and at the end the ocean. It is fun. Thanks

8. zach-

   MAN! i just found your website through some friends on the Art of Strength forum and around the blog-o-sphere. I had heard your name before but had never checked it out- I’m kicking myself in the ass for not doing so sooner! I f*%!ing love it!

   My friends and I have been hitting the field 2-3 days a week for last 1.5 yrs or so doing a lot of what you do (M, W, S are KB days somtimes on the field sometimes not & T, TH are field days). I have found some great new ideas just from looking over your site in the last 2 days. I’m amped!

   I’ll leave you with our favorite field day routine. We call it the “W” workout b/c the stations you move through are in that shape-

   station 1: KB exercise
   jog 35 yards to station 2
   station 2: bodyweight drill
   jog 35 yards to station 3:
   station 3: 550lb tire flips
   jog 35 yards to station 4:
   station 4: body weight drill
   jog 35 yards to station 5
   station 5: KB exercise
   then either sprint back 70 yards to the beginning or jog 70 yards to pull up variations on the monkey bars.

   we rest 60-90 seconds between rounds and repeat 3-5 times depending.
