Fitness ‘In the Wild’ with

David Ryan Fitness

This month lets keep it wild with a high-intensity workout you can do outdoors with limited to no gym equipment. Science suggests that there are benefits to exercising outdoors that can’t be replicated at your favorite indoor fitness club. Some studies1 suggest that people have lower blood levels of cortisol, a hormone related to stress, after exercising outside as compared with inside. There is speculation too, that exposure to direct sunlight, known to impact our mood, plays a role as well. Our video features Grey’s Anatomy’s Giacomo Gionniotti, which incorporates martial arts, plyometrics, track and field, and functional training.

3 Rounds For Time 1) burpee jab, cross x 10 2) sled push x 10 3) hanging leg raise x 10 4) tire flip x 10 5) 100 Meter sprint
