Poppy enjoys being outside, and her exercise program mirrors that enjoyment. For her, the countryside is the ideal gym rather than only a place to unwind.
“I find my life more alive outside. Poppy says, fresh air and some sunshine really help your body and mind.
Exercise Everywhere
Poppy’s outdoor workouts center on bodyweight activities suitable for any location—from a park to your home. Her preferred moves are shown here:
- Walking Lunges: Great for your legs and glutes, walking lunges also improve balance.
- Park Bench Dips: A simple yet effective way to target your triceps using a park bench.
- Burpees: A full-body exercise that gets your heart rate up while strengthening your core, legs, and arms.
- Stair Sprints: If you’re near a set of stairs, Poppy recommends sprinting up and walking down to build stamina.
- Tree Planks: Use a tree or any stable surface to plank against, engaging your core and upper body.
“Nature is the best workout partner—no equipment needed!” she says. Poppy advocates using your surroundings—that is, a pair of stairs for sprints or a park seat for dips. ”
It’s all about getting creative and maximizing what’s around you.”
Poppy advises varying the locations of your workouts for folks who like things fresh. She continues, smiling, “Go for a hike one day, do yoga in the park the next—it’s a great way to stay motivated.”
