In particular, group training fees are often associated with an increased fee. <strong>The price for exercise<\/strong> varies depending on whether it is<strong> a regular entrance to the fitness center, guided training <\/strong>or <strong>exercise with a personal trainer,<\/strong> and prices also vary <strong>by location. 85% of Americans<\/strong> spend<strong> 600 euros<\/strong> a year on these devices and <strong>15% even more.<\/strong> Training is a matter of priorities, and if you are bothered by the smell of sweat, waiting for machines or other factors typical for a gym, exchange it for outdoor exercise. You can invest the money saved for fees in better sneakers, for example. It is not always possible to train outdoors, rain, heat or frost are probably not ideal for exercise, but at least you can alternate it.

It is important that it is performed <strong>regularly<\/strong> and at a<strong> natural pace.<\/strong> During a classic run, maintain a<strong> mild and natural pace,<\/strong> during which you can, for example, <strong>communicate with a training partner.<\/strong> Also, keep in mind the correct shape while running, <strong>your arms moving only slightly,<\/strong> and<strong> your shoulders, neck and back<\/strong> should be<strong> relaxed.<\/strong> Regularly running this type will improve your <strong>aerobic capacity.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Progressive running<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; its difficulty is between <strong>classic and interval running.<\/strong> Its essence is to<strong> start running at natural speed<\/strong> and end running at <strong>a faster pace<\/strong>. This type is often <strong>associated with long-distance running,<\/strong> the goal is <strong>regular acceleration<\/strong> and every kilometer of the route should be slightly faster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Long-distance running &#8211; <\/strong>it is&nbsp;basically <strong>a longer variant of classic running<\/strong> and its goal is <strong>to improve your endurance.<\/strong> Duration and distance depend on your condition and endurance. If running on long distances seems too boring, you can <strong>make it special by changing the pace and intervals.<\/strong> The correct length of the long run should be <strong>20-30%<\/strong> of the weekly distance run. For example, if you run 30 km in a week, a long run should be about 6-10 km.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Uphill running &#8211; <\/strong>running uphill itself has several forms, such as sprinting. This is <strong>an example of HIIT training,<\/strong> the advantage of which is the significant burning of calories in a short time. This improves <strong>endurance, strength and running technique.<\/strong> You can also run in <strong>the form of repeats (hill repeats)<\/strong>, these are short sections during the run uphill. Repetition is best done on a hill with<strong> a slight incline from 4 to 6%.<\/strong> Another form is <strong>hill circuits<\/strong><strong>,<\/strong> which you can do on a route with different hills and different types of terrain. Find a route with alternating<strong> steep and slight<\/strong> <strong>incline<\/strong>, speed up on the incline, hold your tempo on the straightaway and slow down on declines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fartlek<\/strong> &#8211; a type of run whose name comes from Swedish and denotes<strong> &#8220;speed game&#8221;.<\/strong> The difference between classic forms of running, such as interval and fartlek, is that fartlek is <strong>unstructured<\/strong>. Due to this feature, it mixes several different<strong> intervals with different distances and durations<\/strong>. The essence is the alternation of fast and short with slower, more relaxed sections. You determine their length and intensity during the run, you sprint to the nearest tree, you rest after the next sidewalk, and so on. Fartlek is great<strong> for group running<\/strong>, where the group leader sets the pace. It&#8217;s not only <strong>fun<\/strong>, but also <strong>motivating<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/css\/vue\/index.css\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"style\">\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/chunk-vendors.js\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"script\">\n    <link href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/index.js\" rel=\"preload\" as=\"script\">\n    <link data-no-optimize=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/css\/vue\/index.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\n\n    <h2>\n        You might be interested in these products:    <\/h2>\n\n    <div data-app=\"recommended\" data-products=\"32395,8273,29902,29040,7185,36322,28334,36058,36310,36073,46033,36223,36298,29117\" ><\/div>\n\n    <script data-no-optimize=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/chunk-vendors.js\"><\/script>\n    <script data-no-optimize=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/wp-gymbeam-blog-theme\/js\/vue\/index.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Park_%E2%80%93_an_ideal_outdoor_gym\"><\/span>Park &#8211; an ideal outdoor gym<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you live near a park with trees, benches, or tools for outdoor training?

Try <strong>benches, walls, stairs<\/strong> or just the ground.

Sit on a bench and hold it with your hands next to your body<strong>. Move your butt forward<\/strong> and hold on firmly with your hands. <strong>Bend your shoulders and lower<\/strong> your upper body to the ground. You may find the exercise simple, but try it, you will practice triceps and shoulders with it. Do you want the exercise to be more challenging? <strong>Try a dip with a kick (Dip and Kick)<\/strong>, in addition to the classic hand movement during the dip, you also have to <strong>kick<\/strong>, which also involves your legs and abdomen.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[13] [14]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\">3.

Put yourself in a position similar to push-ups, <strong>place your elbows under your shoulders<\/strong>, try to keep your<strong> body level<\/strong>, and especially your buttocks.

In some parks you will find<strong> an outdoor gym with a bar,<\/strong> but you can exercise without it. All you need is<strong> a solid rod<\/strong> of sufficient height or<strong> a stable tree branch.<\/strong> <strong>Grasp<\/strong> <strong>the rod with your hands<\/strong> approximately<strong> shoulder-width apart<\/strong> and just pull yourself up. It is advisable to make 10 pull-ups in one series, which is not easy for beginners. Therefore, if you can&#8217;t do 10, do as much as you can, and do<strong> one less in the next series.<\/strong>&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[15] [16]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/zhyby_-1124x800.jpg\" alt=\"Park - an ideal outdoor gym\" class=\"wp-image-220064\" style=\"width:843px;height:600px\" title=\"Park - an ideal outdoor gym\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/zhyby_-1124x800.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/zhyby_-400x285.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/zhyby_-1536x1093.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/zhyby_.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\">5. Step-up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t need many machines and tools from the gym for proper leg training, you can train them with any elevated segment in the park. If you want to properly practice your <strong>quadriceps, hamstrings and butt,<\/strong> try<strong> step-up.<\/strong> Stand in front of an elevated surface, such as stairs, <strong>step up<\/strong> with your left foot and <strong>lift<\/strong> your right foot behind you. Take a step back and do a leg-changing exercise. Step-up can have <strong>many variants<\/strong> with which you can perfectly train the muscles of the lower body. One of them is <strong>step right up,<\/strong> when putting the foot up, keep your <strong>arms&nbsp;<\/strong>firm and when lifting the other foot to the side,<strong> lift the arms to the position of the letter &#8220;T&#8221;.<\/strong> There are many ways to use stairs to train your leg muscles. You can strengthen quadriceps and hamstrings, for example, <strong>by jumping up stairs.<\/strong> Jumps are a great exercise to improve<strong> body stability,<\/strong> but you need to be careful to safely fall down on the ground. When jumping, try not to fall with very high force and absorb the impact with your whole body. There are several possibilities for jumps, it definitely depends on the environment and your form.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[13] [14]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"749\" height=\"1124\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OK-_-sk_kanie_cez_vihadlo__-749x1124.jpg\" alt=\"Jumping on the skipping rope\" class=\"wp-image-220041\" title=\"Jumping on the skipping rope\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OK-_-sk_kanie_cez_vihadlo__-749x1124.jpg 749w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OK-_-sk_kanie_cez_vihadlo__-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/OK-_-sk_kanie_cez_vihadlo__.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\">6. Jumping on the skipping rope<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you looking for a leg training exercise that will make you sweat well? <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/skipping-ropes\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">The skipping rope<\/a><\/span> is not only a children&#8217;s toy, in addition to strengthening your fitness, you can also train<strong> the muscles of the lower part of the body with it.<\/strong> Try to include it in the training plan and try <strong>several variants<\/strong> that can be tried with a skipping rope. In addition to classic jumping, you can <strong>jump on one leg,<\/strong> <strong>raise<\/strong> your <strong>knees<\/strong> when jumping or <strong>cross<\/strong> your <strong>legs<\/strong> or <strong>arms<\/strong> while jumping.

Lunges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you may have noticed, you can train <strong>all the exercises with your own weight<\/strong> outdoors. If we are talking about proper leg training, we must not forget <strong>the lunges<\/strong>. They are simple, you can try<strong> several variants<\/strong>, and you can practice <strong>quadriceps, hamstrings and buttocks<\/strong> with them. The basic movement in a static lunge is through one leg, which you <strong>step forward<\/strong> so that both <strong>knees<\/strong> bend <strong>at an angle of approximately 90 \u00b0.<\/strong> You can also try<strong> walking lunges, jump lunges<\/strong> or <strong>reverse lunges<\/strong> in which you take a step back. If you have a bench nearby, try the <strong>Bulgarian Split Lunge,<\/strong> for example, to practice quadriceps and buttocks. Place one of the legs with<strong> the instep down<\/strong> on the bench seat, the other in front of you<strong> at a 90 \u00b0 angle<\/strong>, and<strong> move down<\/strong> from this position. Lunges can be done <strong>anywhere<\/strong>, you can make them more challenging by <strong>using weights <\/strong>or <strong>changing the pace.<\/strong> It is important that you enjoy it as well as serve its purpose.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[14] [18]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/v_pady__-1124x750.jpg\" alt=\"Outdoor training - lunges\" class=\"wp-image-220006\" style=\"width:843px;height:563px\" title=\"Outdoor training - lunges\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/v_pady__-1124x750.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/v_pady__-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/v_pady__-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/v_pady__.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-default\">8. Squats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Squats<\/strong> are one of the basic exercises aimed at<strong> training the muscles of the lower body.<\/strong> Their added value is also<strong> to improve the stability and strength of the center of the body.<\/strong> I guess we all learned squats in elementary school, but it&#8217;s a technically demanding exercise, so we need to pay attention to its proper implementation. Thus,<strong> the movement should be similar to sitting,<\/strong> not bending at the knees. Your <strong>buttocks<\/strong> should <strong>point backwards<\/strong> and you should feel<strong> the weight shift to your heels.<\/strong> You should look in front of you and<strong> have your shoulders relaxed<\/strong> while squatting. You need to keep your<strong> back stretched,<\/strong> but if your outstretched hands fall on your knees while squatting, it is a sign that you have a bent back.<strong> The knees<\/strong> should go<strong> slightly out<\/strong> when squatting and the the knee caps should be in the same direction as the toes. Last but not least, you should keep your<strong> feet on the ground<\/strong> while squatting and <strong>bounce off the heels<\/strong> when <strong>moving up.<\/strong> Squats are also among the exercises with several variants, for example well-known&nbsp;<strong>sumo squats<\/strong>, in which you have your legs in<strong> a wider position than your hips<\/strong> and <strong>your toes<\/strong> are <strong>turned slightly outwards.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[13] [19]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to know more about<strong> squats and lunges?<\/strong> Read our article &#8211;&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a title=\"How to do squats and lunges correctly?\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/how-to-do-squats-and-lunges-correctly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to do squats and lunges properly?<\/a><\/span> You will learn about<strong> the correct technique of squats and lunges,<\/strong> as well as different<strong> types of these exercises.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe that we have inspired you by choosing a few exercises and reduced your worries about training outside.

To be sure, it is definitely useful to check the weather in <strong>the weather forecast<\/strong>. In addition to the weather, the effectiveness of the training can be affected by other factors, such as <strong>strong winds, smog levels <\/strong>or <strong>humidity.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adequate clothing &#8211;<\/strong> you have checked the weather, so it is important to prepare suitable clothing. If there is<strong> a risk of rain<\/strong>, it will not hurt to wear <strong>waterproof clothing.<\/strong> In<strong> cold weather,<\/strong> it is good to wear<strong> more layers of clothes<\/strong>, which you can add or remove when the temperature changes. With heat, there are problems with high temperatures and sweat, so choose clothes of<strong> lighter colors<\/strong> and materials that <strong>wick sweat away from the body.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ideal location &#8211;<\/strong> if you do not have an ideal location in your area, try to find at least the most suitable one. <strong>The choice<\/strong> <strong>of<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>place&nbsp;<\/strong>to&nbsp;exercise depends <strong>on the type of training<\/strong> you have chosen. Always think of a place that has<strong> a suitable surroundings&nbsp;<\/strong>for selected exercises and activities. For example, if you want to practice yoga, it is not entirely appropriate to go to the playground with a bunch of screaming children. The ideal option is a place where you can train<strong> without any problems,<\/strong> and where you do not<strong> restrict other people<\/strong> with your training, and others do not limit you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety<\/strong>&#8211; be sure to choose a place for training that is<strong> suitable and safe at the same time.<\/strong> However, there is still a certain <strong>risk<\/strong> of exercise, such as <strong>injury<\/strong> or other dangerous situations. Therefore, have a <strong>phone<\/strong> with you and<strong> tell someone you know where you are going to train<\/strong> (for example, if you are going to run to a more distant forest). It does not hurt to have <strong>a small amount of money<\/strong> with you, in case you would like to buy water or an energy bar during training.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already have a training plan that you follow when exercising in a gym, try to find <strong>alternatives suitable for training outdoors.<\/strong> If you have <strong>never compiled a training plan<\/strong> or<strong> are looking for inspiration<\/strong> for a new and better one, read our article &#8211;&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a title=\"How to design a quality workout plan - tips, trainings, most common mistakes\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/how-to-design-a-quality-workout-plan-tips-trainings-most-common-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to compile a quality training plan &#8211; tips, trainings, the most common mistakes<\/a><\/span>.
