Working out has quickly become a favorite part of my day. It’s something that is so important for my mental well being and I love feeling like the best version of myself for my family and friends. It is something that now has a designated spot on my to-do list every day, whether that’s a treadmill interval workout, long run outside, meeting with my trainer or a walk with my kids. Sweat once a day! It’s so good for your energy levels and overall health!

Now that summer is officially here, I like to take my workouts outdoors as much as possible. Here are a few of my favorites:

Outdoor Summer Workouts

3 mile run outdoors with speed goal – When I’m running a shorter distance I like to push myself to increase my speed. If you’re just starting out, aim to cut out 30 seconds off each mile. So if you’re usually comfortable running a 10-minute mile, try running a 9:30-minute mile! I track this on my Apple watch.

3-4 mile run/strength circuits – This is usually what I do when I’m working out with the kids! Pushing them in the stroller is brutal so I’ll usually run for a mile and then stop and do a quick strength circuit. Here is a circuit you can do: 

• 12 jump squats
• 12 alternating single leg lunges
• 10 forearms plank with knee tucks
• 10 pushups
• 10 tricep dips

…do this 3-4x, so you get to 3-4 miles. Remember, do what you can!

¼ mile run sprint circuits – again, I track this on my Apple watch. I’ll walk for ¼ mile and then all out sprint for ¼ mile. Alternate for 3 miles!

I rely on cute activewear to make me feel good during my workouts! You all know how much I love lululemon and I recently needed to grab a few new pieces for summer weather. How cute are these shorts? I love the 4” length – not too short, not too long. Paired with my faaaavorite top (remember it in long sleeve here?) that is great for steamy days when you need coverage but also want some ventilation. I have a serious addiction to checking their new arrivals every day and they have so many new items on my wishlist!
