Outdoor Exercises That Might Not Be On Your Radar

6. Swing Set or Bench Bulgarian Split Squat

If your local park has a swing set or a bench, you are ready to perform one of the most effective gluteal and hip exercises: the Bulgarian split squat. Using a swing takes more strength to stabilize against the moving base, so a bench is better for beginners. Stand a few feet in front of the swing or bench, facing away from it, feet hip-width apart. Place one foot on the bench or swing. Keeping the back straight, bend the other knee to lower your body to the ground. Push against the swing or bench with the raised foot to slowly return to the starting position. Swap legs and repeat.
