Do a Park Workout
A park workout is a great way to use the great outdoors to your best ability while burning mega calories. Head to the park and utilize the park running route and the playground equipment to get your fitness session on. The monkey bars can be used for chin ups, and you can use the benches for step ups and even pushups. A park workout is one of the best ways to intensify your workouts.

Go for a Trail Run
Head to a local trail to run off road and get a great workout in. Trail running or walking is a great way to challenge yourself, especially if it is a rocky trail, which helps strengthen your core. Trail workouts also are a great way to avoid pounding on the pavement. So head for a 4-6 mile trail run to push yourself to the next level.

Bike the Trails
Try something new this year and head out for a bike ride on the trails. Riding your bike on the trails is a great way to switch things up. If you are going to a very rocky trail, you can often find guides to go with you or even take an adventure lesson. This is a great way to switch things while pushing yourself.

Swim Laps in Your Pool
With warmer temperatures, you can skip the grueling indoor gym and head to your own backyard for a workout. If you have a pool, why not utilize it for something other than relaxation? Swim laps in your pool to get a great total body workout. Make a goal of doing this 2 days a week for 20 minutes and add just 2 minutes to your time each week, until you reach close to an hour.

Or you can even head to the beach and hire a few lessons to master the basics. This is a great way to intensify your workouts in the warmer weather!
