Although I consider myself a fan of fall, I'll admit, there's nothing quite like summer weather. During warmer months, the first thing I do when I wake up during the summer is check that little blue weather app, praying for a clear day and a pleasant — not too hot — temperature.
On days like that, I hop out of bed, toss on my best warm weather tank like the UA HeatGear® Armour Racer Tank ($25) that's breathable and ready to wick away sweat, and get ready to enjoy the day. For me, that usually takes the form of a long run through my favorite park. But as I've been eager to expand my fitness horizon, I decided to switch up my summertime sweat session.
To help me do so, I asked Miriam Fried, ACE-certified personal trainer, founder, and head trainer of MF Strong, to give me the perfect sunny day workout to try in just 30 minutes. All you need is a lawn or park, access to a bench, and maybe some luck from the weather app.
Step Ups
Incline Push-Ups
Foot Elevated Bridge
Tricep Dips
Floor Angels
Russian Twist
Bear Pose Hold
Pro tip: If you're working out outside, Fried says to be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterward to stay clean and sanitized. She also recommends spraying Arm + Hammer Invisible Body Powder Spray ($7) to continue smelling fresh throughout the day.
