Oh Hello Sun! Welcome Back!

I don't know about where you are, but it is a gorgeous day out here today!  I'm pretty sure its about 78 degrees outside here!  Whether its warm by you yet or not, at least the sun is setting later each and every day.  It sure makes it a lot easier to get outside and active after work when it isn't already dark.  So in honor of the beautiful weather, I'm making a list of outdoor activities that will get you up and active!  If you have other suggestions, feel free to share.  You never know when someone else will love your idea!


Outside Activity Time!

1. Go for a Run (like this wouldn't be my first one...)
2. Go for a bike ride through a park.
3.Walk to the grocery store to pick up fresh vegetables for dinner tonight.
4. Climb around on a jungle gym with the kids for an hour. (Side benefit: They will love that you are out there with them!)
5. Play a pick up game of football or soccer.
6. Go on a nature hike. Whoever finds the first Robin wins. (or make it a full out scavenger hunt!)
7. Play catch...but make the other person run for the ball!
8. Go rollerblading!
9. Mow the lawn with a push mower.
10. Start getting your garden ready. Shovelling, weeding, tilling...it's all getting you moving!
11. Surprise a friend by walking over to their house to say hi and invite them on a walk.

Whatever you do, make sure it's at an active pace.  Keep yourself moving.  And enjoy the sun!  Spring is a wonderful time to start something new, whether its first becoming active, or revamping your current workout plan. 

Side note:  I passed my Nutrition Exam with 90%!  So happy! Also, Happy Pi Day! 3.14 :)

Snoopy is very happy its spring!
