Getting Exercise Outdoors

With the weather getting better, it’s fun to incorporate some sort of exercise outdoors. Hitting the gym all the time can get boring so to change things up a bit, I incorporate some sort of outdoor activity. Here is a list of things that I do outdoors that are fun, and can give you a good workout.

Daily Walks (at work)
- I work at a desk most of the day so I try to get outside a couple times a day and walk. Usually these walks are about 10 minutes and it helps me clear my mind as well as stretch my legs. 10 minutes may not seem like much but if I can get 3 walks a day in that totals 30 minutes of walking!

Hiking
- Fortunately I live near many hiking trails. These trails range between novice level (mostly flat terrain) and expert level (lots of hills). I will choose a trail depending on my energy level. I usually spend anywhere between 45min and an hour hiking.

Tennis
- I'm not a pro but I will get outside and play some tennis with my friends every once in a while. Its a lot of fun to get out there on a nice sunny day!

After Dinner Walks
- After dinner I try to get in a little walk as well. Nothing strenuous, just a walk around the block a couple of times to wind down for the evening and help with digesting my food.

Bike Ride
- I'll also go for a bike ride if the weather is nice. There are bike routes everywhere. It’s fun. Especially if you have a family. The whole family can go for a nice bike ride.
