This summer, get outdoors and enjoy nature while also getting fit. In addition to traditional fitness routines such as walking and running, you can also incorporate these activities into your summer fitness regimen.
Hiking

If you are headed to the mountains for vacation this summer, enjoy your time outdoors and get fit by hiking. Be sure to take a lot of water with you on your hike and only stay on designated trails, particularly if you are unfamiliar with the area.
Biking
Enjoy the summer sun by biking. Whether you are riding on the city streets or through the hills, you can get in a get in a good workout by biking. Consider joining a riding group in your area. Most major cities have a bicycle association or bike riding groups.
Swimming
As I mentioned in a previous post, swimming is a popular exercise, particularly in the summer. Head to the pool at your local YMCA or health club. Swimming laps every day is a great alternative for a low-impact, full body aerobic workout.
