    I'd love to do some of my workouts outdoors as well... BUT I live in a trailer park, and don't want to be that crazy person everyone talks about, lol

    Well aside from running outside instead of on my treadmill, I have done walking lunges and sprints from mailbox to mailbox. I have done pushups and high knees in my driveway and I have done suicide runs alternating with jump squats from mailbox to mailbox going up and down my street. I only do these though, if I just finished a run outside and Im not ready to go back in OR if I dont want to finish my workout in the basement, I stay outside.

    I have also have worked out at the park and brought my resistance band and did intervals of running and strength work using my band and a bench! I honestly, dont worry if I look like a fool because I feel if anyone IS looking at me, they are admiring the fact that I am working my butt off, and who knows, maybe they will get some ideas off of me and use it for THEIR own workout!

    The only non-running/walking exercises I do outside is jump rope or sometimes hula hoop if the grandkids are over.

    I do some stuff outisde when the weather is nice.

    tire flips, overhead pressing, sled drags, etc. They're much easier to do in the back yard.

    I love to do my workouts outside over in the house. I'm coped up all day in a office when would I want to be indoors, I don't think I would be able to stick with it.

    I like to go to the park for my workout, take my dumbbells, bands and a mat. I find a nice area not too far from a bench and then start with a bootcamp style workout. I love it and I just think every one is wishing they had the energy to do my workout.
