Yard work! Yup that’s right! Yard work can provide a good calorie burner. Get out and enjoy the spring!
I did add in some descending muscle ups at the park with the kids because I can’;t do a full muscle up just yet, but if you find a low pull up bar, launch yourself above it and lower yourself down slowly to build those muscles. Repeat to failure!

It was my first run to 4 miles and I felt good and could have gone longer distance, but I am pacing myself so I held back. Remember, running is the most basic workout you can do without any exercise equipment or gym memberships. Get out and start running!
