Great Outdoor Fitness Program


If you’re looking for some motivation to get active, I’ve designed an outdoor fitness program for a great session. Hi it’s Alan Lewis from Hard On Fitness, I am an experienced Personal Trainer for over 15 years. 
This session is a 45-minute workout, great before you take on the day.  It’s great to get outdoors in the fresh air, especially if you work inside all day, this is your time to be outside and enjoy the fresh start. 
The best thing about this fitness program is that you can train by yourself or with a group of people. This is a great program to burn some fast calories & activate those fast twitch muscle fibres.
Handy Hints Before you Start Your Fitness session
·       Always make sure that you have water handy for when you need to have a drink.
·       This is a great program you can do in your own backyard if you have the space.
·       If you’re driving or walking to your ideal exercise location, it's always great to have a small First AID Kit in your car. Incase of any injury to yourself or any of your training partners


Warm Up
(Jog)
·       (5 minute)

HINT
·       Make sure the area you choose to jog in is safe.  Also make sure that your exercise shoes have good support.

Stretches

·       Have a small stretch session to avoid any injury
·       If you’re unsure of how to stretch, make sure you get some advice from a personal trainer or exercise professional.
