Playground Glutes and Abs

Spending time at the playground is always fun, and why not get a workout while you’re there? You might even get some other parents to join;)

This one is short and sweet: as many rounds as your kids will let you do of the following exercises!

romanian split squats

Back foot on step, legs staggered as in a normal squat and lower the back knee toward the floor with control. Come back up. Repeat 8-15 times each leg.

Reverse plank marching abs

Support arms on a step or other playground equipment and lift hips up in line with torso. Lift each knee toward your chest one at a time, feeling good ab activation at the same time. Repeat 8-15 times each leg.

squat taps

Stand with a low step behind you, and reach back and tap with your hips as you squat. Return to upright. Repeat 8-15 times.

high step ups

Find the tallest step at the playground and with control and leg staying in alignment (knee in line with foot and hip), stand up. Lower back down with the same control. Repeat 8-15 times each leg.

You’re done!!
