When sun’s out you may as well go guns out…regardless of what it says on the calender.
I did some pullups, played around with handstands, and even ran a little barefoot.
The biggest negative of the gym is that it’s indoors, it lacks vitamin d.
Outdoors the air is fresh, the sun shines, the wind blows.
There’s no noise, no poop radio, no televisions in every corner.
I’d like to have a fully equipped gym, but outside.
It needn’t even be in Santa Monica/Venice Beach endless summer type weather, I’d take the Ukrainian seasons if it meant access to fresh air and the equipment.
I do olys outside whenever I feel like it, this often ends up being in the colder months.
It annoys me to no end that almost nowhere in america can one find pullup bars that are properly high, yet according to the internet they’re all over former soviet republics.
In america playgrounds are built to what is likely legally considered the safe height for toddlers, while the soviets built the same equipment adult sized.
Still that’s all complaining.
Fitness is able to be financially free, the only costs : in time and sweat equity.
Wherever you are you can get going.
No excuses to lack strength, stamina, flexibility, etc.
You can step outside anywhere.
A parking lot or a field can suffice.
It amuses me to no end when people think they need something for fitness.
The right shoes is one I’m amazed to hear from guys. Though I too remember those days where I still cared.
Now I mostly wear falling apart tshirts and beat up shoes to train.
I can walk to a park and hit some pullups. While there do walking swamp lunges for awhile.
I can kick off my shoes and run/walk barefoot in most any field, though I’m most into doing this on the beach.
With winter coming I’ll no joke jog and sprint barefoot in the snow.
I love doing that.
In fact I love physical efforts. I love training.
Get outside. Enjoy the weather… regardless of degrees out and levels of precipitation.
