I’m back from holidays 🙂 two weeks flew by far to fast. I managed to squeeze in a few Body-Weight Workouts that included TRX Suspension Work in the shed and garden of my father. It made me aware again of how little equipment we actually need to stay fit, all I needed and could find was a old wooden stool, my TRX that I hung on a crossbar in the shed … that’s it.

Finishing up with 10min stretching in the shadow of the trees, as we had temperatures of 25-35 degree 🙂 in the South West of Germany / Black Forrest (just an hour south of Stuttgart or an hour north east of Basel) – a beautiful area, ideal of all kind of outdoor activities from Running, Inline-Skating, Swimming in outdoor pools or
local lakes, Road Cycling, Mountain Biking, Hill Walking, Cross Country or Alpine Skiing etc. etc.
The picture above was taken at Titisee-Neustadt (in the area of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald in Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany), below a Google link with more pictures of the area.
Give me a call if you plan to travel to the South West of Germany for some tips what to see e.g. Burg Hohenzollern, Freiburg, Basel, Feldberg, Rottweil etc. etc.
