Spring Workout Ideas


As the chill of winter melts away and the warmth of spring beckons us outdoors, it's the perfect time to refresh your workout routine with activities that take advantage of the season's beauty. Spring offers an ideal backdrop for outdoor exercises that not only invigorate the body but also uplift the spirit.


Start with a brisk walk or jog in your local park, where the newly blossomed flowers and budding trees add a visual treat to your workout. Cycling is another fantastic way to explore longer distances and enjoy the spring scenery.


For those seeking a more serene experience, outdoor yoga provides a peaceful escape, allowing you to connect with nature while practicing poses and breathing techniques.


Don’t forget about the fun of team sports like soccer, basketball, or ultimate frisbee, which are great for cardiovascular health and socializing. Lastly, simple bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, and push-ups can be done in your backyard or at a nearby park, turning any outdoor space into your personal gym. Embrace the season's energy, and let the great outdoors inspire your spring fitness journey!

Easy Spring Recipes! 

Grilled Honey-Lime Chicken with Pineapple Salsa


Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 limes, juice and zest
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together lime juice and zest, honey, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate the chicken breasts in this mixture for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
  2. Preheat the BBQ to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Grill pineapple slices until charred, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Dice the grilled pineapple and mix with red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime to make the salsa.
  4. Serve the grilled chicken topped with pineapple salsa.

BBQ Veggie and Halloumi Skewers

Ingredients:

  • 2 zucchinis, sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 200g halloumi cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss the zucchinis, bell peppers, red onion, and halloumi in the marinade and let sit for 30 minutes.
  2. Thread the vegetables and halloumi onto skewers alternately.
  3. Preheat the BBQ to medium heat. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the halloumi is golden-brown, about 10-12 minutes.
  4. Serve hot, perhaps with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an extra flavor boost.

Fun Facts

  • Doing high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can boost your metabolism for hours after your workout, helping you burn more calories throughout the day.


  • Exercise can improve your mood by releasing endorphins, which are known as the body's "feel-good" chemicals.


  • Working out can improve your sleep quality, as it can help regulate your circadian rhythm and reduce stress and anxiety levels.


  • Stretching before a workout can actually decrease your overall strength and performance, so save the stretching for after your workout.


  • High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown to be more effective at burning fat than traditional cardio workouts, even though they are shorter in duration.


  • Working out with a partner can increase motivation and accountability, leading to better results in the long run.
