Over the weekend I had a workout in the local park adjacent Kitsilano Beach (an area in Vancouver).
We had access to a pull-up station next to the basketball courts, so what workout would make sense? Hmmm, let me think about it.

! Well, it may not have been the best choice, but considering it is a couple of body weight movements sandwiched between two 1-mile runs, and it was easy to do with a group of 5.
Well, this got me thinking what other workouts are good for those of us who find ourselves on the road or have limited equipment options?
