Outdoor Training

Bench Dips
 
Bench Dips
 
You can do "Bench Dips" almost anywhere.  You just need a stable low platform.  These are great tricep builders and good for developing practical, natural strength.  If you need to throw a punch or push yourself up and out of a manhole; you need strong triceps.


Push-ups on a Swing

Push-Ups on a Swing.
 
Wicked core workout before we even talk about pecs.  Holding yourself up and stable in this position really works the abs.  Crank out a few push-ups and you will do your chest and arms a favour too.  Look for a swing-set in sand rather than pea-gravel pictured above.

This is a good glute exercise.  Easy to find a nice low platform.  I do all my reps on one side first then switch.  Knee-high platform is good; higher is even better.
Box...


...Jumps


Box Jumps 
Box Jumps are a wicked plyometric workout.  Find a low, stable, flat, dry platform like the sculpture/seat pictured above.  Stand back a couple of feet.  Crouch.  Jump. Step back. Repeat.  Great exercise for glutes, quads, hamstrings.  Do these at a rate of 20/minute and they'll be great cardio too.  This is an advanced move; start low and work your way up.
