Mid July Already- park workout

Wow I cannot believe the date, here we are mid way through the summer.  Hopefully you are getting your summer fitness results.  One small lifestyle change I have added is riding my bike to and from work 2x / week, 30km each of these days.  I feel great but not exhausted from adding in too much.  Time is flying by and I started working 5 days a week last week at the NHL prospect camp.  It is hard on my body, but temporary.  Due to this new undertaking I have also added short YOGA routines of 15-20 minutes to help with tightness from work.  I use a simple I-phone app- this works for me.  I plan on keeping this up 2x/week as well.

A few of my clients have been training in the park with a simple resistance band, 1 kettlebell and a stop watch.  Here is a copy of their busy mom park fat loss workout.

Warmup- dynamic- glut bridges, side planks, balance, lunges, push presses, t spine mobility, upper back
