Well, we’re telling you that there are plenty of outdoor workouts that are just as good as a gym workout. 

All you need to do is step outside and find one.

We all know that team sports are harder to skip and avoid that any other forms of exercise. Is there a worse feeling than letting your team mates down?

The guilt is real. 

Tag rugby is really fun to play if you gather a good gang. There are loads of different leagues in Dublin, so you’re sure to find a location close to home.

2. Outdoor HIIT

Nothing better than fresh air when you’re sweatin’ buckets.

People often disregard walks and say they’re not a workout.
