> Get Out and Get Fit This Spring
|
|
You've been stuck indoors most of the winter, but now you hear it–the sounds of spring and warmer weather calling you outside. Pleasant temperatures and the beautiful, scenic surroundings can not only motivate you to exercise, but dare we say it, help you enjoy it more!
But what should you do once you get outside? We put together a few ideas to help get you started.
| • |
Walking: According to current national guidelines, walking for 30 minutes, 5 days a week, at a brisk pace, will help ward off chronic disease. However, if you're trying to lose weight, you should aim for 60-90 minutes of walking most days. Sound intimidating? The trick is to integrate it into your daily life in manageable spurts. Consider walking the kids to school or hoofing it to run errands at lunchtime, and walking the dog or taking a stroll after dinner each evening. It's a great activity for any age and any fitness level. |
| • |
Hiking: Hiking gives you a tremendous leg workout, along with fantastic cardiovascular benefits. Not only that, it provides a calming atmosphere for a workout that doesn't seem like a workout at all! Listening to the birds and enjoying the cool breeze, whether it's coastal or forest, provides a break from daily stresses. Hiking is also a great activity to do with family and friends. However, you should be aware of any potential dangers in the area (i.e. snakes, mountain lions, biting fleas, etc.) and dress for changing temperatures-think layers! Visit www.LocalHikes.com to find a trail near you! |
| • |
Cycling: Not only does bicycling increase muscle tone and build stamina, but you can really explore your community by cycling to different neighborhoods on different bike paths and trails. You could even commute to work! If your gym offers spinning classes, they can help prepare you for your future outdoor biking adventures. |
| • |
Swimming: Aside from the fact that this sport is a wonderful cardiovascular conditioner that engages the whole body, it's also very easy on the joints. The weightlessness of the water helps keep exercise pain-free and low-impact which makes it perfect for the elderly, injured athletes, and even pregnant women. Swimming will increase your stamina, relieves stress, and it's fun and refreshing, too! |
| • |
Paddle boarding: Health and fitness experts are quickly discovering the outstanding benefits of Stand Up Paddle Surfing (SUPS). It's an ideal sport for cross-training as it brings together legs, back, feet, arms, neck and stomach muscles in a graceful display of core strength and balance. SUPS beginners should start by taking a class or finding an instructor, but if you love the water, paddle boarding is a fun and scenic way to work out! For tips on how to get started, visit http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/paddleboarding.html. |
There are many ways to get fit outdoors, but the most important thing is to find an activity you enjoy. And don't forget to log the miles you walk, run or bike at http://www.beewellforlife.com/.
What are you waiting for? Get moving this spring!

Chef Scott's Post-Workout Recipes
Mardy Fish and I have spent a lot of time discussing the importance of eating properly in conjunction with an ongoing exercise regime. The best way to think about it is calories in, calories out – to maintain your weight, the number of calories that you consume should match the calories that you expend through exercise and physical activity. At least that's the goal!
It's also important to consume the right types of calories. Since we expend so many essential nutrients during physical activity, it's important to replenish your body with things like lean proteins. That's where I come in! I've created some post-workout recipes featuring tuna and salmon that will help to give your body the protein boost that it needs. Now I'm off to practice my tennis game, which is admittedly getting much better with the help of my buddy, Mardy, but I'm not going pro anytime soon!
