The weather is finally warming up, which means it’s time to take your daily exercise outdoors.

If you’re looking for ideas on how to stay active this season, here are five spring exercise ideas: 

Walking/Jogging/Hiking

The most classic form of cardio is letting your legs and feet do the work. Step off your treadmill and head outdoors for a pleasant walk or jog around your neighborhood. If you have terrain nearby, try a hike to get some great views and enjoy some new scenery.  

Cycling

Cycling is a great cardio exercise, and it can take you to many places. If you enjoy your indoor spin classes, why not grab a bike and cycle outdoors? Try getting some friends or family together for you to go bike riding all together around your neighborhood.

Yoga

Take your yoga outdoors and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine as you do your favorite poses and breathing exercises. Yoga is great for improving flexibility, reducing stress, and building strong muscles. And for those with arthritis or joint pain, yoga is low-impact, and you can customize your stretches to match your needs.  

Outdoor Sports

There are plenty of sports to enjoy outdoors this spring that are fun and double as great exercise. Give these fun outdoor sports a try with a friend or on your own: 

• Basketball
• Badminton
• Tennis
• Soccer
• Volleyball
• Rowing
• Baseball
• And more

Swimming

Jumping in the pool is great for a hot spring or summer day; why not get your daily exercise in while you’re at it? Swimming is a great, low-impact form of cardio that can also help you build your strength. From laps to treading water, you can get in a great exercise from the comfort of a pool.
