Outdoor Fitness Activities
By Morgan F Turley

Do you love the outdoors? Are you looking for more things to do
so you can get outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine? If
so, there are plenty of outdoor fitness activities that you can
do.

The first outdoor fitness activity is to take in a game of
tennis. If your local park or school has a tennis court,
challenge a friend, family member or neighbor to a few games of
tennis on a Saturday morning. Afterwards, treat yourself to a
cup of coffee at the local restaurant nearby if you so choose.

Another one of the outdoor fitness activities you can do is
ride your bicycle. You can simply ride your bicycle as many
times as you want around your block. While you are driving in
your car, take a ride once around your block and figure out how
many miles you are going when you are riding your bicycle. If
your goal is to get up to two miles per day on your bike, then
you will know if you have accomplished this or not.

Ride your bike up to the grocery store or post office when you
need to get groceries or the mail. Skip driving and get out and
move! You may even want to invest in a small basket to safely
carry items with you.

Take your bike out to a trail and ride in the terrain. You will
get a great workout on the dirt path going up and down hills.
You will really work your legs.

Challenge your kids to a game of basketball. If you have a
basketball hoop right in your yard it will be very easy for you
to step outside and start playing. If you do not have a
basketball hoop you can take a bike ride up to your local park
or school and play a game or two there. If you have younger
children you can play a game of horse for fun.

You and your family can challenge each other to a great game of
baseball. Have fun running the bases and cheering each other on.
This is a great time to teach your children about sportsmanship.

Frisbee is always a fun time in your backyard. You can really
get moving if the wind is blowing and it carries your Frisbee.
If there are more than two people, you can make a triangle for
three people or a square for four people, etc. Have fun playing
Frisbee with your dog or dogs, too. Your dogs will enjoy your
companionship and they need the exercise, too.

Play a little catch with your football. You can play a game of
flag football or tackle football. Just do not get hurt if you
play tackle football or you will really slow down on your
exercising for a few days or weeks depending on how badly you
injured yourself.

You may simply kick a ball around with your young children to
get exercise. Play keep away and take turns. You will have fun
spending time with your children and they will love the extra
attention.

There are many outdoor fitness activities you can enjoy alone
or with your family, friends and neighbors.
