6 DYNAMIC WORKOUTS YOU CAN DO OUTSIDE THE GYM
Not everyone has the time or inclination to make it to the gym on a regular basis. And let’s be honest - sometimes the simple act of breaking a routine can be inspiring enough to create new habits.

So before the winter weather sets in, why not take advantage
of the outdoors and take your workout outside of the gym? If you find yourself
wanting to shake things up with a new outdoor workout, here are six workouts
you can do outside the gym!
1. Swimming
Swimming is an amazing, full-body exercise. It’s all good
for all ages, is easy on your joints, and even if you’re not particularly good
at it, that just means you burn more calories while paddling your way across
the pool. It’s definitely a win-win.
2. Hiking
Hiking is great because it can be as easy or difficult as
you want it to be. If you’re a beginning hiker, just put on some good walking
shoes and make your way to the closest trail to try it out. Bring a friend and
a picnic to make it a social day, or take the whole family out with you. Plus,
with all that walking, you can burn a ton of calories and get your Fitbit steps
in.
3. Golf
Ditch the golf cart to get your steps in out on the links;
18 holes can get you up near 14,000 steps! Golfing can also be a relaxing way
to get outside and relieve some of the weekday stresses.
4. Tennis
An active game of tennis can get you taking all kinds of
steps - running around, moving backwards, and lateral side-to-side movement. And
tennis can be so fun you won’t even realize you’re exhausted until the set or
match is over. Don’t have a tennis partner? No worries. Just find a wall and
practice your forehand and backhand, moving enough to keep you working.
5. Rollerblading/Rollerskating
This might be nostalgic for you but believe it or not,
rollerblading or rollerskating is a great workout for your thighs and glutes!
Plus, you can burn up to 800 calories an hour while you’re at it. Strap on the
helmet and knee-pads and make it a family thing.
6. Gardening
Gardening can be great exercise and a pleasant and easy way
to enjoy the outdoors. You can grow your own pesticide-free food while you’re
at it! If you don’t have a yard, try a community garden. You’ll get the added
bonus of essential vitamin D out in the sunlight - just make sure to have your
sunblock ready.
