In a collaborative effort with Scott over at Straight to the Bar, we will be writing about workout locations for the month of December. You can expect a new article on the matter every week.

This week, Scott discusses working out at the park. He points out the benefit of having a wide open space and having spectators to encourage you. He discusses some specific exercises that you can do and links to videos with more ideas of how to spend your day working out in the park.

I would like to add that working out at the park can also be something that is geared more towards play than towards a full out workout. Bring some juggling balls or clubs, play some soccer or basketball, bring a baseball and a bat. Get some barefoot striders in. When I go to the park, I may or may not get a good workout, but I always have fun.
