Make Room for Fitness Outside of the Gym

Sure, gyms may be temporarily closed for health and safety precautions, but that doesn't mean your exercise routine is done for. There are plenty of ways you can keep up with your routine, and even add to it! This week, The Lodges at Rolla is sharing a couple of great workout routines that you can do outside the gym, whether in the comfort of your very chic luxury apartment or outdoors! Check them out.


At-Home Circuit Workout
This is a quick and fairly easy at-home circuit routine of 6 short exercises:

Squats: 20 reps
Push-ups: 10 reps
Lunges: 10 each leg
Dumbbell rows (using a gallon milk jug or another weight): 10 each arm.
Plank: 15 seconds
Jumping Jacks: 30 reps

Once you've completed these 6 exercises, take a 20-30 break to grab a drink of water, then jump right back in and do it all over again! Do 3 total circuits of these short exercises.

If you're feeling like you can handle a tougher workout, feel free to add more reps to each exercise and/or add another circuit on. Or try this next circuit workout! This more advanced workout looks like this:

One-legged squats – 10 each side
Squats: 20 reps

Jump step-ups: 20 reps (10 each leg)
Pull-ups: 10 reps
Dips (between bar stools): 10 reps
Chin-ups: 10 reps
Push-ups: 10 reps
Plank: 30 seconds

Take a quick 20-30 second break, then jump right into your next circuit! Do this routine 3 times.


Playground Workout
If you live near a park or playground, this exercise routine will be a great way to get in some reps and get outside! This is a great no-equipment needed workout, that allows you to get some quality exercise in, some fresh air outdoors, and if you've got them - time for the kids to expel some energy too.

Alternating step-ups: 20 reps (10 each leg)
Elevated push-ups: 10 reps
