Merging your indoor and outdoor workouts into one week can be very rewarding, awakening your mind and body.

Mix beautiful surroundings with the indoors by running, playing sports, performing vigorous household chores, strength training, and yoga. Monday through Sunday workouts could look something like this:

Monday: Long run along the waterfront

Tuesday: Yoga

Wednesday: Interval run at the track or hills with weights

Thursday: Off

Friday: Soccer, bike, or frisbee

Saturday: Hike or golf

Sunday: Yard work

A program like this will peak your interest, keep your chance of injury low, and your soul craving more.
