Embrace bodyweight moves

“Using your own body weight can be effective for outdoor workouts where you don’t have equipment handy,” says Rosie Stockley, a pre- and postnatal PT and founder of Mamawell. She suggests adding planks and push-ups to your routine for full body strength and suggests that an effective park-based workout might include a 10-minute run followed by a bodyweight circuit around a bench, repeated three times.

Use outside walls, railings and sturdy fences

“To make the most of your outdoor space, look to include the outside wall of your building,” says Penny Weston, nutrition, fitness and wellness expert and founder of Made. “There are many ways you can incorporate a wall into your workout.

“Wall sits, for example, are challenging but beneficial; they’re great for strengthening quads and improving posture. Aim to sit for 30 seconds at first, increasing your time as you get stronger. Once you have mastered a one-minute wall sit, you can add a weight to your legs to make it harder.

“Wall press-ups are also great,” she adds. “Place your hands against the wall just wider than shoulder-width apart – your hands should be in line with your shoulders. Take a step back so your body is at an angle, have your feet hip-width apart and do not lock your knees. Perform a press up against the wall, get as close you can without your face touching the wall.”

Wall press-ups help to strengthen shoulder, chest, arm and core muscles. You can even do wall bridges, which are like glute bridges but involve pressing your feet into the wall.
