If you enjoy working out at home or outdoors then you’ll love this 20 minute routine. It uses body weight exercises to work out the whole body and can be done pretty much anywhere at any time you fancy.

A Change of Routine

It takes just 20 minutes from start to finish and requires absolutely zero gym equipment. All you need is a park bench or a sturdy chair. You don’t need an excuse to do this workout. If you feel like getting some fresh air or just fancy a change from your normal routine then give it a try.

Managed to get my 3 roommates to do the 20 minute home workout. Needless to say they were completly out of breath at the end of it. I had them hold two 25 dumbells while doing all squats. It was a great way to get a leg work out in.

Had to work away last week at short notice, so I missed my regular gym session. Work stuck me in a hotel with no gym, typical! But there was a park across the road so I tried this workout and it's great I love it. I'm gonna start throwing into my usual routine now and again just to add some variation. It gives you a great workout :D
