Jungle
Gym Membership: playground
workouts
It's
sunny or it's
FREE...
it's free anyway. Sign up for my email list to find out when.
There's something fascinating about corporate
gyms, with their televised treadmill waiting lines, wet workout
machines, refried forced-air vents, plentiful parking tickets,
membership tithing and the illusion of service.
Sometimes we forget that
there are other options.
For me, when my calendar
or location doesn't jive with the yoga studio schedule, and when
jogging on cement wears down the knees, and yoga DVDs no longer
please... I think...
It's
time to invent new ways to exercise.
I've worked out in playgrounds hundreds of times, figuring out
a variety of ways to safely exercise different muscle groups on
the swings and slides and merry-go-rounds, while enjoying the
sunshine and scent of fresh cut grass.
I've taken weight training classes. I've worked with a personal
trainer. I've been doing yoga for many years. And since 2005 I've
been experimenting, designing exercise routines that produce specific
results through safe ranges of movement... on the colorful shapes
and bars of jungle gyms.
I recently found a secret park where no one goes. It's serene
to indulge in playground workouts, unseen, hanging
and climbing on colorful bars and slides, stretching on that foamy
spongy flooring, and wrangling the springy horsey...
Whether you're a blimp or a wimp or a bud or a stud...
Come
spend two hours playing with a purpose.
Come wearing workout clothes, with an extra layer, a bottle of
water and a towel.
I'll provide a handout about different playground workouts and
their benefits.
I'll talk with you about your physical health
goals. I'll guide each of us to create our own custom workouts.
I'll demonstrate everything, so at the very least, you get
to watch a full grown man wrangle a springy horsey. (See the
pic on my bio page.)
By the time we're all sweaty and mellow, you will have experienced
a some of how I interact with my clients. Then I'll tell you that
I work one-on-one, with partners and small
groups. I also offer workshops, adventures and social experiments.
I
guide professionals to thrive, while balancing health, love and
play.
Jungle Gym Membership isn't about thriving
professionally, and probably won't involve much love.
This time, it's about health
and play... and balance...
seesaw balance.
To find out when and
where I offer this next, or to swap questions and answers, contact
me.
For my other workshops, social experiments
and adventures, go to my events.
