Warm weather has finally reached Indiana.  I’m anxious to get outside and enjoy it.

Being fit is not all about sweating away the pounds in a gym.  I love taking it outside.  Calisthenics, body-weight resistance exercise (ex. push-ups), and some low tech gear give me all I need for a great workout.

Keep in mind that exercise doesn’t have to be all work. Just because it’s fun doesn’t mean it isn’t good for you. What do you enjoy doing?

My favorite outdoor activity is trail riding on my mountain bike.  We’ve got some great trails around Indy.  Most people are familiar with the Monon Trail, and you won’t need a mountain bike to handle it.  Good place for a family bike ride.  I like to trail ride at Westwood Park near Newcastle.  It offers a challenging 10 mile loop.

I’ve also started doing some hiking in preparation for some actual mountain climbing I plan on doing this summer.

Whatever it is that you like to do — get out there and do it. Have fun! Play hard!
