Are you thinking about making a change in your health and fitness plan? Maybe you exercise regularly, however, are not thrilled with your results? Changes to the types of activity you do each week can be good. You may need a physical change and or a mental change to get to your next milestone. For many people this is a time of year when getting out and enjoying the outdoors can be a great way to stay active and continue your fitness! Some ideas of alternatives that can be great outdoor activities that most people can do are:
1) Hiking
2) Running
3) Cycling
4) Canoeing
5) Kayaking
6) Outdoor circuit training (sprints, pushups, pull-ups, rowing, use of park facilities)
7) Walking
8) Adventure vacations (active hiking, cycling etc..)
9) Combinations of body weight exercise with the above..
The key is planning. Sit down with your summer calendar and figure out when you or you and your family can get out and experience some of the great outdoors. Fitness does not need to exist just within the four walls of a gym… This is called an “active lifestyle”.
Looking for places to go… try your activity and a simple Google search you might be surprised where it will take you. Until next time… keep moving!
