You either love running or absolutely hate it. If you fall into the latter, don’t worry—there are other ways to get moving outside without having to run. These five outdoor activities will have you staying active and you’ll forget you’re getting a workout. Plus, you’ll get to spend time in the sun.

Cycling

Running can be hard on your joints, but cycling is a great alternative because it’s low-impact. You can add cycling into your daily routine or you can use it as a way to explore the city.

Tennis

Get your best tennis outfit ready and hit the court. You’ll get a great workout and you can get your friends together for a doubles match.

Roller Skating

Roller skating has been taking over social media and it’s a total ode to the ’90s. You’ll feel like a child again, rolling around your neighborhood and you’ll work muscles you haven’t in years.

Hiking

Reconnect with nature and hit the trails. Make a hiking date with your partner and feel your stress levels reduce.

Volleyball

Make your beach days more active by playing a game of beach volleyball. It’s much better than sitting all day in the sun and you’ll connect with friends while getting an amazing workout.
