Outdoor Fitness with Tina Vindum

I treated myself to a get away—spa experience recently. I wanted the following:
• Hiking
• Massage
• Clean foods
• Sunshine
• Sleep!

During my stay at this glamorous spa resort, I would walk past the gym. I thought I’d try it out. It’d been years since I’d actually used a gym facility.

Feeling fabulous after my morning hike, I enter the gym for some classic weight lifting. After about 4 minutes I am jolted by the music…thumping, thumping, thumping (“don’t be judgemental—don’t crash your buzz”). I see the folks on the step machines glued to the TV’s. They’re watching news, cooking shows and celebrity gossip —(“food looks good!—Don’t look!”). Now I notice the machines are clanking (“don’t listen—just noise”). A guy in the corner is grunting, loudly (“don’t laugh!”). I see a guy sneeze, all over the machine (“Bless you—oh gross! I’m outta here!).

I took my show outside. I found a bench and some grass.
There I was, just Me and the bench.
I got a full body workout: Push ups, Dips, Squats, Step ups, Crunches, Hip Extensions, Calf raises, pull ups from a tree.
I was Worked AND Rejuvenated!
And the best part about it is My Body doesn’t know the difference between that bench and a $2500 machine, or a $1000 membership to the fanciest gym in town.
