Time to hit the bike trails

by The Diva

Now that September has arrived it’s really cooled off dramatically! I can’t believe how cool it’s getting at night. We actually turned our furnace on for the first time this season this evening. It was just too cool in our house.

One thing I do like about the cooler weather is that it’s nice to get out and either take long walks or go for bike rides. Working out or being active is important year round, but I find it much easier in the spring and fall when the temperature outside is much more moderate to cool. I just get too hot in the summer if I really exert myself and well, sometimes here in the winter it’s just too cold to go outside for a long time.

Perhaps tomorrow if the weather is nice we’ll get out the thule bike rack and load up the bikes and go to a bike trail for a nice long ride.

Do you enjoy doing outdoor activities like biking, walking and running year round, or are you like me and prefer to do some of those activities when the weather is slightly cooler like during the Spring and Fall?

I need a better fitness routine in the winter

by The Diva

Now that winter is here I find that I’m not getting as much exercise as I was when the weather was nicer. I really have to work on some kind of indoor routine that will help me stay in shape during the winter months.

I do have some fitness equipment that I use occasionally. I have an elliptical machine upstairs in one of our very tiny small bedrooms, and I also have a balance ball, and some small hand and leg weights that I use when I’m exercising to a fitness DVD or with my Wii.

The trouble is I don’t do it as often as I should. I guess I prefer getting my exercise outdoors. You know, taking long walks with the dog, biking, swimming, or even doing yard work or work in the garden. Believe me, when I garden it’s exercise as I spend hours working in the garden beds at a time!

What do you do for exercise in the winter? Do you go to a gym or work out at home or does your routine falter like mine once the weather outside turns bad?
