I love the stories of free spirits traveling around the world with no home and nowhere to be. They all seem to teach us the same thing: the journey is to be enjoyed, it is not about the destination. This is what OutdoorFitnessProject has become to me. I am constantly motivated to find new locations to train, each with their challenges and unique characteristics that will drive the workout session.

How can you do the same?

Find a suitable location. Honestly, you can pretty much train on a concrete slab, but that would be boring. Look for parks, playgrounds, fitness trails and your own backyard. Some cities have fitness parks that can be found with a quick google search.

Rely on minimal equipment to train. I use suspension trainers, a weight vest, parallettes, and a jump rope. That’s it.

Keep the equipment in your car, this will encourage you to drive around and find new locations to train.

Stick to several fundamental exercises to make up a consistent core workout. These include variations of pushing exercises, pulling exercises and squats. Change exercise variations every six to eight weeks.

Include time to practice isometric holds such as handstands, front lever progressions and planche progressions. These are harder than they look and will get you “real world” strong.

Finish with 10 minutes of conditioning. Hill sprints are my favorite. If your training location for the day is hill deprived, try burpees, plyometric jumps and jump rope drills .

Train 3 to 4 days a week and in addition, use your fitness as much as possible. Snowboarding, cycling, and JuJitsu are ways I incorporate fitness into my lifestyle. What are yours?

Add dogs and kids whenever possible.

That’s it, an outline for vagabonding fitness.

Take action and make your training an adventure!
