One of my main fitness philosophies, is that hard work should also be fun. The gym and/or outdoor fitness parks are just playgrounds for adults! #FitnessSky

Road trip workouts are often sporadically scheduled in between getting from point A to B...But I gotta keep on truckin' Finding fitness parks and/or any kind of bar for pulling and dipping is an essential step when I'm exploring a new area on my Maps app.

Last but not least, a bit of an agility and cardio finisher with some low and high bar up and overs. This really gets. the blood flowing. Stay in control and pace yourself or you might get a bit dizzy! As many reps as possible in 5 minutes. #FitnessSky

Fun with bars, a three part circuit for upper and lower body strength and conditioning. The first set features inverted rows using a pronated grip and starting from a nearly horizontal plane. 3 sets of 12 reps.

I'm learning a lot about developing full body strength in tandem with employing total control and stability. Very important stuff for anyone 40 and over. This straight arm strength gymnastics workout took only 10 minutes, but it's the hardest circuit I've done in a while. #FitnessSky
