welcome to Wild x Co (@wildxco.ldn on Instagram) - we're on a mission to get the world fit and strong outside.
What does this park workout involve?
- a fun group warm-up with lots of energy to activate your body ahead of the workout
- a 1km functional fitness course involving squats, running, burpees and crawls
- it will challenge the whole body making this a complete workout
- the cool down of all cool downs, and the chance to meet lots of likeminded people
And afterwards, we all meet up in leafy Highbury & Islington for delicious coffee and pastry. It's the perfect way to start your weekend.
Am I fit enough?
Yes, similar to park run, this has been designed for all abilities. Some of you may choose to push yourself for a course record (which we love to see) but for many others it may be about completing it and getting a better time each time you turn up! If you can do a 5k park run, you can do the Wild 1k park workout!
How long does it typically take to complete the park workout?
While it will vary depending on fitness and strength levels, we typically find the average time will be between 25-35+ minutes, but the fittest/strongest amongst us may push for a sub-20!
I'm training for a fitness event. Is it suitable?
Of course, this is a great test of your fitness and full body strength so very suitable for:
- your next Hyrox training block / event
- marathon / half marathon / 10k / 5k runners
- trail and mountain runners
- Spartan and Tough Mudder competitors
- team sports players like hockey, rugby, football, basketball, racquet sports etc
Can I bring a group / friends?
Absolutely. The more the merrier. This is the workout you'll be telling all your friends about.
Tell me more about Wild x Co...
Love to! Set up by yoga instructors, marathoners and calisthenics practitioners from London, we're on a mission to get the world outside and getting fit and strong. We firmly believe in exercise alfresco - it's great for our mental health, it requires more athleticism and mind/body connection, it roots us into our natural terrain and it forges deeper relationships with our local community.
We organise fun tours around the incredible green spaces of our capital city and we also put on fun park workouts like this. Head to @wildxco.ldn for more info on Instagram.
