Enjoy the Weather!

It's now full spring and the temperature outside is creeping upwards. The day is beautiful, getting longer, and becoming more available for going outside. However your life style is, you can fit in a fun workout outside.

Walking, running, biking, skating, scootering, skipping, galloping, etc. are great ways to enjoy the fresh open air. Especially during the weekends, take your family out to a bike trail or grab some friends and go roller blading.

For the weekdays, take time in the mornings to do some cleansing breaths, and get some fresh air by taking a nice morning stroll before heading off to work. This will relax you, prepare you mentally for the day, and awaken your mind.

If mornings are busy, you can take a easy walk during your lunch break or after dinner. A good half an hour of moving is perfect with the coupling of fresh air.

On the weekends, try to do something new. Make your exercise an event. Maybe call up a couple of friends and play a pick up game of ultimate frisbee, soccer, or basketball. Take your kids out to a park, lake, or beach as the weather runs into summer.

Even though its still in the 60s and 70s please make sure to properly prepare yourself for the sunny weather. Proper hydration and sun protection is important for your own health. Always carry with you a water bottle and sunscreen.

Enjoy the outdoors!
