WARM UP

10 minute jog, walk and jog.

MAIN WORKOUT

Back exercise

• (Facing the tree with the Resistance band wrapped around tree at head height)
• Straight arm shoulder mobilisers (make circular movements through the shoulders in both directions)
• Straight arm pulldowns (lean slightly forward and pull the band down with straight arms) 3-4 x 30 seconds each 30 seconds rest after completing a set of each exercise

Chest exercise

• (Place one resistance band around the tree attach the wrist straps to your wrists and the resistance band wrapped around the tree)
• With just one arm connected to the resistance band position yourself in a press up pose side ways on to the tree so the resistance is only on one side, be a good distance away so there is reasonable tension on the band complete a press up then lift the arm (with the resistance) up and in across the chest is in a chest fly movement... 4 x 6 reps (2 sets a side with the resistance band) 20 seconds rest in between sets and build sets up to 4 a side..
• Pull ups or pulldowns (using resistance bands)
• 5x5 reps slow and steady

Press ups

• As above but this time, facing the tree and after each press up lift the arm out of press up position and move it as thou holding a snooker cue (it's called a renegade kickback and focuses on the tricep) with the band attached to your wrist
• 4x6 reps build up to 4x6 a side
• Single arm split stance row (with resistance band wrapped around tree)
• 5 x 5-10 reps each side slow and steady squeeze

And finally...

• Tabata routine for sprints
• Sprint for full 20 seconds 10 seconds rest x 8 rounds

The above routine is great for outdoor exercise with minimal equipment, it covers cardio vascular fitness and muscular endurance mainly but will also help with some strength, mobility and will hopefully give you a great sense of achievement.
