Heck, it’s the perfect time of year. Not too hot anywhere in the world, from California to Sydney, Auckland to Alaska, Boston to Barcelona, and all the other cities where the 90,000+ TT readers live, it’s a great time for bodyweight exercises in the park.
In fact, I once did this bodyweight session at a playground right beside the river where Bally and I do our trail walks.
