Springtime Activities & Fitness: Season of Renewal

We’ve all been stuck inside for months...so it goes without saying that now more than ever it’s important to stay on top of your health and make sure you’re engaging in activities that encourage you to get up and move. Here are a few ways to “spring” into action!

Go for a run or...a walk!

Ashburton is a great place to get out for a run or walk. With our beautiful suburban setting there are plenty of interesting routes to take. Not to mention the hills for a little extra umph! Also, there are plenty of less traveled roads in the neighborhood to keep your routes new and inspiring. Oh, and don’t forget to track your steps!

Gardening

From weeding to mowing to planting, your garden can be great exercise. Not only can it be aerobic but even for getting some muscle workout too. Nothing like a day in the garden working out your body and the spectacular feeling when you survey your results at the end of a satisfying day.

Biking

Biking is a fun activity people enjoy doing as it warms up outside! Our neighborhood is the perfect landscape to get in a real workout. Riding up Sequoia Ave can be a challenge but the thought of coasting back down Dorchester makes the hard work worth it! Great for family time too!

Yoga

A healthy way to increase your heart rate and improve your levels of flexibility is yoga. It also strengthens your muscles and can improve balance! If the weather is cooperating you can even workout in your backyard!
