Sometimes you don’t want to work out indoors. And you most definitely don’t want to be in a dirty old gym. So what if you could just take your workout outside, and get fit in the great outdoors? Well actually you can, providing you select the right equipment.
The good news is that you don’t actually have to choose the equipment yourself, because I’ve done it all for you, using Gumtree Australia. Then I’ve put the workout together AND I’m giving away the equipment to one lucky follower!
Gumtree is celebrating their 10th anniversary in Australia this month, with a whole new look, a simplified process for buyers and sellers, 24/7 support and a new payment option (hello Paypal!). And I’m joining in on the celebrations, partnering with them to give away a portable/home gym, as sourced by me. There’s a detailed description of all the equipment I chose, why I chose it and how to win it at the bottom of this post, but for now, let’s get into the second of two workouts I’ve created (you can find the first one here).

What you can win
Pull up bars – when you’re working out at home or outdoors, pulling exercises tend to be the most difficult to do. These pull up bars travel easily and have a lot of awesome uses.
Kettlebell (8kg) – the kettlebell is one of my favourite pieces of equipment, because it’s so darn versatile. Great for working out multiple body parts, plus it’s compact and travels well.
Medicine Ball (8kg) – I love medicine balls for much the same reason I love kettlebells, and this one gets bonus points because of the two handles, opening up more options.
Dumbbells (3kg) – a set of dumbbells is a great way to further challenge yourself once you’re feeling comfortable with the bodyweight version of certain exercises, and this size is also great for some upper body isolation work.
Skipping rope – the ultimate cardio calorie burn! You can throw this in your suitcase and work out anywhere.
Foam roller – stretching is a super important part of staying fit and healthy, and most of us (me included!) don’t do enough of it.
