I am the first to admit that working out at home is hard. Scratch that. It's nearly impossible. I started to hop on the workout-from-home trend last spring and I just could not get into it. The only success I ever had was when I worked out outside. Whether it was going on walks with the dogs, long jogs, or yoga in the backyard, I found myself more motivated when I was in the great outdoors.

This means more workouts outside! Take your workouts to the next level with these 37 products that will have you dying to work up a sweat.
