Nature's Gym . . .

. . .No Membership Fees or Monthly Dues Necessary.
When my husband lost his job in December we had to cut our monthly budget in half and one of the first things to go was our monthly gym membership. After working out all winter with the Wii® Fit we were looking for a change of scenery and decided to take a three-mile hike at Sessions Woods – a nature preserve a couple of miles from our house. What a great workout. As you travel up and down the footpaths you get a good cardio workout. It also tones your gluteus maximus. Walk up and down the steep wooden steps to the waterfall and tone your thigh and leg muscles. And the best part of all – you don't need your earphones and iPod! As you walk you can listen to "nature's music" as you hear the birds chirping, the animals rustling through the woods all around you and the sweet sounds of the water running in the brooks and streams you pass by. Take a break at one of the many resting areas and soak up the beauty of nature. And if it's sunny out you can get a tan while you soak up some vitamin D. There's nothing like staying in shape for FREE!
