What's your favorite Outdoor workout??

I was lucky enough to get both of mine this week!!

Saturday I ran down to Penns Landing. It's a workout playground. 5+ sets of stairs for climbing, pillars for dips, ledges for lunges and step ups, long straight aways for sprints (Those of you who know me realize that I don't run...so the sprints don't apply to me. But, when I say I ran to Penn's landing, I truly did run for the first 1/3 mile...I was in a major time crunch, but it won't be happening again anytime soon: )

Then yesterday, we fit in a 2 hour hike in Wissahickon park. 90 minutes of up and down and a little climbing on the trails and 30 minutes of sprint power walking. Gorgeous sounds, people laughing, great views and a killer workout 15 minutes outside of the city!!

I'm runnin late, so I'm going to miss my food and exercise journal. I'll add it to the blog later. But, for the most part, I'm keeping control of the portions and still not getting enough water. Oh...and I'm living on Lemon Chicken and Rice soup by Cyber Chef. Look up Jason Kelso on my friends list and start getting your soups from him. He makes 2 flavors weekly and at $10 a quart, you have a yummy snack or meal a few times a week.

Tip: Find workouts you enjoy and can look forward to. (i.e. hiking, biking, blading, walking city or parks with a friend, etc.) Make a weekly date with a friend. You catch up on gossip and have at least 1 hour of weekly exercise covered.
