Tina Vindum's Outdoor Fitness: Step Out Of The Gym And Into The Best Shape Of Your Life

I've been working out with Outdoor Fitness for about 2 months now, it's absolutely amazing! I've been dancing for 20 years, off and on strength training using elastic bands plus weights at home.... but this is the best shape I've ever been in. Plus, I really look forward to working out. It's fun being outside, and the exercises make me feel strong. The different terrains really do intensify the exercises. I'm experiencing the outdoors like I never have before, really being a part of it instead of just admiring the scenery. It felt a little strange at first doing these exercises, especially with other people around but now it feels so good that I don't really care. Also getting my Vitamin D/daily sunshine and I just feel amazing overall. Sometimes I don't even feel the need to turn on my music, it's so relaxing out in nature. Not like the gym where I had to drown out the noises and try not to look around at the ugly building.In these two months, my legs have come about three quarters of the way to where I want them. They are muscular and toned and I am feeling strong. Still a little ways to go. I workout 6 days a week. It's not as hard as its sounds; once you step out the door your workout can start. Not like when I would get my bag together and drive to the gym or dance class. I'm back in 30-45 minutes, totally wiped out. Arms are definitely showing definition. My tan looks great : )Also wanted to mention that I'm a busy mom and pet owner, and it's really really helpful to have a workout that can include them. I take my dogs jogging with me for the warm up (daughter rides her bike) and then plays at the playground while I workout at the park. All you typically need is a hill or trees or a picnic bench or playground equipment- haven't had a problem ever finding the props I needed. If you don't have a hill for example on that day, you just choose a different workout, like the one for stairs or bleachers. The equipment is all around you, you can leave home with nothing in your hands and nature will provide it all.The book itself is good, nice photos to demonstrate the moves. I wish there were more workouts. I've done all of them already. A couple in the beginning focus on just upper or lower body. I wish there were about 20 combinations. Maybe I just need the creativity to make up my own. But it's great to be able to just open the book and not plan it all out first.What a deal.. under $10 to get in the best shape of your life! HIGHLY recommended!

Borrowed this book from the library and then decided I wanted a copy for reference. Have used it for 4 weeks now and I already feel stronger in particular. It has been a good reminder about mixing up some weight bearing exercise plus interval training and gives practical ways to get both happening outside (I really dislike gyms and so does my dog). I have written the basic workout programs down on separate small cards and carry them with me so they are handy. Even when I only have 30 minutes spare for some exercise I do not have to think what to do but simply grab the 30min workout program and get in to it, avoiding the whole energy sapping mental discussion of there is not enough time, what should I do, where should I go etc etc.The food section seems sound but not as specific as the exercise plans. I am really loving it and reckon everyone should make more of the outdoors for their fitness and mental health. Have a read - it is worth it.

"I was absolutely captivated by Tina Vindum's Outdoor Fitness book. It revolutionized my perspective on wellness and exercise, taking it beyond the gym and into the natural world. This book is not just a game-changer; it's a life-changer. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their approach to health and fitness."

I have been looking for a book to enhance my hiking workout (in my Sonoran surroundings) with additional ideas to tone and build muscle. This book is perfect. I just purchased the book, but I am excited to include the few of Tina's ideas to my workout program that I have read thus far. Even though I am 62 I am ready to utilize Tina's expertise into my program. I am so glad to have found this book. Thank you, Tina!

In my opinion an inspirational outdoor fitness book. The book is well written, contains a good choice of exercise pictures and goes beyond just doing exercises. I like the holistic touch when Tina describes her feelings and strategies of wellbeing in the great outdoors. The book also covers a good choice of sample exercise plans, training & food tips. It is a good reference for people who are interested in nature, outdoor sport and holistic living.

Amazing book. Tina has compiled something that no one else has formally presented. She draws upon a substantial background as an athlete and trainer to outline an alternative to traditional gym workouts. Her approach is healthy, safe and holistic. She doesn't think of the body as separate parts but as a complete whole which is critical for anyone wanting to establish a baseline of health and wellness. I recently had the chance to talk with her and she was as genuine and knowledgeable as I had hoped after reading the book and applying her techniques. I only wish she could clone herself and offer her outdoor fitness classes more places!

The part I liked the most is the nutrirional part and exercises explained with pictures. Thankyou for sharing this book.

A terrific approach covering all aspects of physical fitness.

Unfortunately this book is not for paleo or movnat fitness adepts neither for men.If you are a women and you want to do traditional fitness outside tho then its a good book.
