Different Seasons for Excercise

Different Seasons for Different Exercises With the different seasons come opportunities for different variations of exercise . However, there may be built in limitations to certain outdoor exercise depending on the geographical area in which you live. Conversely though, your particular area might also afford you types of exercise not found or that are not possible in other climates. For instance, not all areas of the Country get snow in the winter months, but the areas that do will certainly enjoy the exercise the sports of Alpine/Nordic skiing, snow shoeing, sledding/inner tubing and the like can do for calorie burning. And the best part is, you’re having fun while burning calories, reducing weight and improving your health. You must learn to maximize what your geographical area has to offer. Do some searching and investigating as to what your surrounding area has to offer in ways of outdoor exercises . Look in your local paper (if you still have one) or on line for various clubs in your area that fit your purpose of reinventing your health. Fall time is a wonderful time to seek out and join a walking club or a hiking club for the more adventurous. Aside from the obvious of meeting new and different people and making new connections, you’ll see beautiful fall colors and be enjoying the crispness of fall weather as you explore nature and the great outdoors. I personally walk through out the various seasons as I find it so refreshing, and a great way to recharge my batteries in life and get a fresh perspective on challenging tasks at work. In Northern California summers can reach 118degrees, so the fall is a welcome change as there is nothing like a cool walk by the river. In Northern California we have many beautiful lakes, streams and canyons to explore. We also are home to the gorgeous Lassen Volcanic National Park which has among other attributes the beautiful and challenging Mt. Lassen peak. In my youthful days I climbed it every summer while attending church camp. Two and a half years ago before I set about reinventing my health , climbing a mountain such as Mt. Lassen, would have been nearly impossible if not dangerous to my life as I was so physically out of shape and over weight. Upon a trial run I couldn’t hike up the 1st switch back without getting breathless and experiencing a side ache. My son was getting the “call of the mountain ” to climb it and wanted me to go with him, this was one more trigger point that convinced me that I needed to reinvent my health . I gave myself a personal challenge and goal to be physically fit and ready to climb Lassen Peak by the next summer as it is snowed over in late fall and winter. I met the challenge and succeeded! My son and I immensely enjoyed sharing the experience and soaking up the panoramic views from the top at the summit! I was exhilarated with my accomplishment and the renewed freedom I was enjoying with improved health and cardiovascular improvement. The goal is to stay active year round with various indoor as well as outdoor exercises , thereby staying focused and committed to reinventing your health . Investigate your local area and see what activities are available on a seasonal basis, design a plan and start enjoying the new adventures. And remember, "You Can Do!"
