With summer fast approaching many of us will be hitting the beach for some fun day or weeklong trips. A beach is a fun place but it’s another place where you can get a fun alternative workout in! You may be thinking that we are going to talk about swimming or running but we have something way more fun than that.

Since we are still in quarantine people are starting to get bored and are struggling to get out and workout.

That’s okay though because I have some ideas that could help you reach your fitness goals. The activity we will discuss this week is simple and many already know about it. Let’s talk about biking.

Summer is a great time to keep your physical fitness up and to have fun with it. Let’s take a look at some of the activities one can participate in. When you think of summer many people think of heat and humidity. Which makes people less motivated to go and be fit.
