Now that the weather is so inviting, I love to bring my workouts to the greater outdoors.
Me cycling during my first triathlon in Hopkinton, Mass.
Michael and I hiking in Fiji.
I love feeling the breeze run through my hair when I take my cycling to the streets. I love watching the pavement fly by as I peddle away. I love feeling that I'm taking myself someplace. To me, breathing in some fresh oxygen goes perfectly together with staying healthy. And, once you buy your equipment, it doesn't have to cost a thing.
In addition to cycling, there are so many more physical activities to do outdoors once the temperatures are warm. I love taking long walks in the city with my fabulous friend Lisa. I don't even realize how long we've been going and I love spending the time with my friend. Also, hiking, swimming, jogging, kayaking and even gardening can burn lots of calories and you'll have a great day at the same time. Just be sure to keep drinking your water and apply your sunscreen.
But I also still go to the gym. There is such a sense of community at the gym and working out with others can be really be inspiring. If you are new to working out or want to get back into a fitness regime, taking a class at your gym with others will give you a sense of getting in shape together and that you're not alone in your endeavors to stay in fit. There are also trainers at the gym who can best teach new exercises and push you to your limits.
Do you enjoy working out? Where do you prefer to workout when the days are beautiful?
when the days are beautiful...i can't be in the gym...so i tend to either get some long intensive hikes in...so many in my area that are pretty intense...kayaking & definately some gardening...these activities do not feel like i'm working out...other then the sweat pouring down...haha and feeling it in muscles i forgot i had...the next day =)
ReplyDeleteOn the weekends in the summer, I tend to forgo the gym for the park. Too nice to be in a sweaty gym!
ReplyDeleteGoing to the gym is great. I know what you mean sense of community. I love the machines, my trainer, and of course Zumba. Who knew that this would be me. xxoo Rainie

ReplyDeleteWalking is my favorite exercise. Especially when I have an ice coffee and a great friend by my side! There is no better city to explore than NYC. I never get tired of walking this city; unfortunately I get sick of the gym much quicker!
