Get both sunshine and exercise with this park workout

YES, we know how it goes this time of the year.

Summer comes and the last thing you want to do is a) miss out on the sunshine by hitting the gym at lunch, or b) cry off post-workout sunshine drinks to hit the treadmill.

This workout fixes both problems. Not only is the workout extra fast so you can blitz it in a matter of minutes, but you’ll be soaking up the rays the whole time, too.

So, let’s go! Lace up your trainers and head to your local park. Keep an eye out for a quite spot with a low bench, so you can jump to it.

Sprint 200m, then do the allotted reps for each move for your level. Take a minute’s rest then repeat the circuit.
