Since reading a few articles on Ross Enamaits blog, I have been looking at stuff in a new light. Everything I pass now, I wonder how I could use it in some way to challenge myself. Simple things like poles, fences, walls, slabs of concrete, are all now portable - use anywhere - pieces of gym equipment. Yesterday was inset day and also the last day before my son starts school. I thought I'd use the day to teach him how to ride his bike without stabilisers. The journey to the park turned into a mini-workout, with my son getting as much involved as I was, only stopping until he was bored and wanted to move onto the next. Our first stop was a barrier to stop cyclists from charging down an alleyway. We together performed tonnes of exercises, pull-ups, muscle-ups, jumping, swinging and poking slugs with sticks. I took a few pictures and posted them on instagram while we were there...
We also found things to do with a post we found in a field...
