The Sun Welcomes Outdoor Fitness


Tired of walking on that treadmill and not getting anywhere? Try walking around your neighborhood. Now that the sun is finally here, it's a great time to get outside and change up the workout. So far this spring I have added bicycle riding and I am enjoying it very much. I have been riding about 3 days a week on a local trail for 15 to 25 miles. What I hear from the physically fit is that changing up a routine weekly or even daily will give the most results from a workout. I agree with them and I would also add in consistency which seems to be my biggest struggle. Working out on a treadmill or an elliptical machine is great cardio, but try changing up the resistance going from easy to hard within 30 minutes. Of course it will be a tougher workout, but I think you will be satisfied with the results. Keep working out and try to explore some outdoor exercise.
