By Genevieve Cunningham
Spring is in the air and it's a lovely sensation. Even if you live in a warm climate, there's something about spring that brings excitement. And for many people, it also brings the urge to move your body. Spring means shorts, tank tops, and swimsuits in the very near future. Getting your body ready for spring and summer attire can be a challenge. But the warm weather makes it a bit easier. If you are ready to get moving this spring, take a look at these fun outdoor activities that can help you burn more calories and get in better shape.
Nature Walks
Nature walks can be a ton of fun. They’re relaxing and yet still challenging. You’ll get to move your muscles, breathe in the fresh air, and take a slow approach to exercise. You can do this activity alone or with a group of friends and family. Find a trail, make your own, or change it up from day to day. This activity is great for spring, and may help you get in better shape in a leisurely way.
Swimming
Whether you find a local pool, take a dip in the ocean, or find a lake or river, spending some time in the water is exhausting! And with spring in the air, it's a great way to boost your health and burn a few calories. Swim, walk, or tread … as long as you're in the water, you'll be getting a workout, building muscles, easing aches and pains, and moving your body toward better health.
Yard Work
Yard work might not be the most fun, but the end results are worth it. And if you've ever done yard work, you know that it will burn massive calories. Raking, pulling weeds, digging, planting … you'll be breaking a sweat before you know it! Make a plan, get some help, get to work, and you can enjoy a stronger body and prettier yard at the same time.
Spring is a great time to get outdoors. It feels good, boosts moods, and keeps you feeling fresh and clean. And since the weather is so nice, it’s also a great time to get in better shape. Try these activities to help boost your health. You may find that getting outside makes staying healthy easy and fun all in one step.
