Tired of being in the gym so when the weather gets warmer I’m trying to workout outdoors more. What are the most effective outdoor activities?

Running?
Basketball?
Pull ups?

Get some kettlebells. Lots of exercises can be done with them.

I jog around sometimes. It's better than treadmill running, but I'll use the treadmill in the winter. I prefer to go to a high school track, if they allow you, and run laps. Hard challenge is to run 400 meter (or one lap around) and time yourself. Take a break after one lap and walk one lap. Then run it again but try to do better or at least the same.
You can do pull ups at the gym. But if there is no gym around, I will go to the local kids park and do pull-ups on the monkey bars.

Pull ups, tire flips, sledgehammer training is about it for me.

I like to jumprope outside and use a battle rope too.

Running on bike trails is :blessed: especially in woody, scenic areas. There's a trail less than a mile from my house and it feels like I'm a hundred miles away from home whenever I'm on it.
