Here are a couple of suggestions for you if you are wondering what to do for a workout while the gym is closed this week.
1. Take a Walk If you have been coming in 3-4 x a week for quite some time now, a little down time won't hurt. In fact, it may be just what you need. You will still want to remain active though. Go for a hike in the woods or just a walk around town.
2. Play a Sport If you enjoy a sport, organize a game. It could be beach volleyball, a pick up basketball game at a local outdoor court, golf, tennis, softball, or anything else that you enjoy doing. Just make sure to have some fun.
3. Enjoy the Water For those of you with access to a boat, canoe, or even an inter-tube enjoy some time on a lake or river. This could be water skiing, tubing, fishing, or floating down a river. Just don't forget the sun screen.
4. Make up your Own Workout Some of the most enjoyable workouts that I have ever had came when I was away from a gym and just made something up. I remember a workout done on vacation a year ago that included a short sprint up a hill, jumping on a tree stump, and doing pull ups from the limb of a tree. That may sound lame to some of you but it was a blast. Pair up a couple of movements and let your creativity flow. If you just can't seem to come up with anything, check out the workouts for the road section and make some modifications from there.
Whatever it is that you decide to do with your time, enjoy yourselves and see you next week.
