March the first month during the spring season. We have experienced so many springs in our long life. That can make us wonder something. Did we get outdoors and make the most out of every season? If you wondered this, we did find some activities you can get involved in to make the most out of this beautiful time of year.
Hiking: an outdoor activity which consists of walking over different terrains and often on a trail.
Backpacking: also known as trekking and is more intensive than hiking.
Dog hiking: can be highly enjoyable to exercise with pets.
Dog walking: get outdoors and taking the family pet for a walk can be a highly enjoyable exercise everyone looks forward to doing together
Nordic walking: walking with fitness poles.
Scrambling: rock-climbing or done indoors on prefabricated structures.
Waterfalling: includes hunting waterfalls and hiking with others with the purpose of finding and enjoying waterfalls.
Swimming: can be very enjoyable when weather permits and helps tone and shape the body. Low impact is ideal for those with limited movement or joint motility issues and is a non-impact exercise. Swimming can also be done indoors when the weather gets bad and is an activity enjoyed by everyone from small kids to even senior citizens.
Running: involves either jogging or distance running, which is a great form of exercise which gets the blood flowing, melts fats and raises the heart rate, all of which are excellent for those trying to lose weight and stay in shape.
Mountain cycling: a mountain activity which can be fun for someone of more advanced fitness levels.
Skiing: can be either on water or snow, great fun for the whole family.
Windsurfing: a fresh water activity which many enjoy and is physically challenging and mentally stimulating.
Tree climbing: great for bringing out a person’s inner child and as long as someone does not have preexisting knee or joint problems, it is a great way to stretch and work out all the muscles of the body.
Rock climbing: for more advanced fitness levels and is adventurous and challenging.
Kayaking: a water sport which is great for exercising the upper body.
Canoeing: slower than kayaking and is an enjoyable weekend activities many families observe.
Rafting: for the more physically fit individuals, not something to be done alone, but rather under the watchful eye of a guide that has been properly trained and has vast experience.
Caving: exploring caves
Photography: photography is not only a creative outlet, but when taking pictures of nature it calls.
I know this is a long exhaustive list from Healthy Living by Dana Fenton for you to read. Hopefully, some of these ideas will spark you to get outdoors and enjoy the spring season.If you would like to contact us with any questions or feedback, please contact us by
