This is fantastic! I must admit, I did a cursory search online for park bench excercises thinking I'd do some with my pal on our walk in the park the next day. I happened upon this video and immediately incorporated them into my workout.

The next day, I had my pal join me and something interesting happened psychologically. I am not inhibited but many people, like my friend, are shy. Initially, my pal would say to passerbys, "Oh she's my trainer!" (as though shifting the responsibility to me from her would detract from any perceived "negative" attention.) The funny thing was the passersby would go about their business and when spoken to, always welcomed the dialogue and smiled and looked upon us with admiration. It really started to feel like we were setting an example, and in a good way!

Plus it was and effective, time efficient, good workout. Thank you.
