birch way 4-24-03Summer is just around the corner and here in Hunterdon County we can already feel the effects of the heat and humidity that is sure to only increase in the coming months.  Most of us revel in the idea of getting outside and enjoying the warm spring and summer months.  This is also a great time to start up or change our exercise routine.  Bicyclists and runners know and love this time of being able to get in a workout without schlepping to the gym or dusting off the treadmill and we certainly have the parks and outdoor areas to accommodate those activities.  In the spirit of thinking out of the box, however, here are some other great ways to break a sweat and burn some calories in the great outdoors right here in Hunterdon County.

 

Outdoor Classes

If you are someone who likes to workout in a group there are lots of ways to do that while still soaking in the sun.  Sign up for an outdoor class in Hunterdon County.  The Hunterdon County Adventure Bootcamp offers all kinds of ways to use mother nature to get in shape.

 

Hiking

Maybe it’s time to take a nice long hike to clear your mind and improve your health.  Or you can choose to make a day of it with family or friends.  Either way Hunterdon County has plenty of hiking trails for all levels of fitness just head to the parks and recreations website to get all the information you need including trail difficulty.  If you’d like some company for your adventure you can look into joining the Hunterdon Hiking Club or the Hunterdon Walking and Social Group.

 

Watersports

Swimming in a pool is a great outdoor activity that burns calories.  If you are a water rat you may also want to try a canoe, kayak, or tubing adventure in one of our great Hunterdon County waterways.  Check out the Hunterdon County devision of Parks and Recreation for details.

 

Join a Team

Organized sports are not just for kids or watching from the couch or stadium seat.  If you loved the feel of the bat in your hand or the smack of the volleyball as you scored against the opposite team in your youth, chances are you will still love it today.  Look for existing teams in Hunterdon or if you can’t find one that fits you start one up yourself!
