Hiking, especially with friends or family, can be a

fun way to bond with others, or even enjoy some

self­reflection while getting some fresh air and

enjoying nature. With hiking trails located all

across the country, you shouldn't have to look far

to find a park or land preserve with some scenic

hiking to clear your mind, and get in some

physical activity.

GARDENING2

Gardening is actually a full body work out! With

bending, digging, lifting, and other kinds of

activities involved, it's great physical activity for

your body. And the best part is that you are

focused on the beautiful flowers or vegetables!

Be sure to stretch, take it slow, and take breaks...

a day of gardening can leave you a little sore the

next day!

A brisk walk on a beautiful day is a great way to

clear your mind, reduce stress, and stay active.

Plus, it can be done almost anywhere! Take a

break from your desk at work and walk around

the parking lot, or even up and down the hall! Or

a walk after dinner with the family is a great way

to bond, while burning off extra calories.

Dancing can really get the heart rate up, and the

best part is that it's really fun! Ever wanted to try

that couples salsa class? Or maybe a nearby

gym has a dance aerobics class. Or then again,

maybe you might just like to crank up the radio

and get your groove on in your kitchen!

Playing with your kids (outside, if you can) is a

great way to not only get physical activity for

yourself, but to also encourage your kids to stay

active and enjoy some quality time with the

family. Take some time after school or before

dinner to go outside, rough house, skip, race, or

whatever else you like to do that gets your body

moving!

Yoga builds strength, flexibility, and mental

focus... it's an all­around great activity for overall

health. There are many different styles, including

hot yoga, which will give you a major sweat! See

Once you find a class and instructor that help

you feel comfortable, learn the poses and try

them at home... they're a great pre­breakfast

activity to wake up yourself up in the morning.

If you don't have a bike, it's easy enough to find a

used one on the Internet for $50! Hit the park

with a friend for a scenic ride, or even try

commuting to work via bike once or twice a

week. You'll get a great workout AND save some

money on gas!

Tag, hide and seek, kickball, group sports...relive

your childhood on the weekend and play some

nieces or nephews some of the games you

played when you were their age, or round up

some friends and get a little silly. Childhood

Remember... staying active is not just about

losing weight, but also about enjoying life with

the people you care about. In a world where

personal interaction is becoming less frequent,

make some time to get together with loved ones,

turn off the TVs, and be together. Have a

cookout, go to the community pool, play games...

get together, get active, and have fun doing it!
