Parks, aside from providing endless fun for your kids, they also provide a great opportunity to get some workouts in. Several pieces of equipment found at your park can be used for exercises ranging from pull ups to Bulgarian split squats. Best part is you can find a park in just about any neighborhood and you can bring your kids with. Now, the only issue is trying to find a time that the park is not crawling with kids, the last thing you want to do is push a kid off the swing to get your suspension rows in. All parks vary on the equipment they have, sometimes all you need is an open space or a hill. Here is a quick list of exercises you can complete based on the equipment available:
