]]> If you’re looking for ways to stay active without ever having to step foot in a gym, you have come to the right place. Working out can get boring or redundant. That’s why we have compiled a short list of fun activities to keep you fit and entertained.

Kayaking

Kayaking is a great and consistent arm workout. It can also be very scenic and therapeutic making it a great way to stay active in a delightful way. Book an upstate lake trip and enjoy mountain views from the boat with friends and enjoy.

Hiking

Like Kayaking, hiking is a great way to explore nature or a new place while staying active. Enjoy hikes as you travel to new places, or explore some of the trails that may just be in your backyard. Depending on difficulty levels, hikes or trail running can be an exceptional glute and cardio workout. As a bonus, spending time in nature keeps you healthy.

Skiing

Winter sports are a fun and exhilarating way to stay in shape. Skiing alone is a great core workout and an exciting workout for adrenaline junkies. It also makes a valid excuse to go on a ski retreat!

Sports

If you do not enjoy the gym, pick up a sport such as basketball and tennis. These are both social sports and will be a great way to make friends in your area, and can be an amazing cardio workout! You can also try low-impact sports like swimming for the ultimate cardio and arm blaster.

]]> Working out in the winter can be a little extra tricky. If you’re used to working out outside, the cold can be a real obstacle. And even if you go to an indoor gym, it takes extra motivation to leave your apartment when the weather outside is frightful.

But one type of workout that you can do in the winter that is both fun and well-timed for the colder months is skiing. It’s the type of activity that is the perfect combination of a good time and a good workout. Here’s why.

It’s Good Cardio

Downhill skiing is about the same level of a cardio workout as cycling or rowing, which makes it a very good workout for your heart. This means it offers the benefits of improved insulin resistance, better body composition, and lower blood pressure.

It’s Interval Training

Interval training is hugely popular in the fitness world right now as it’s been proven to have great health benefits and help people live longer. And skiing just happens to be naturally a perfect fit for interval training, as it involves pushing yourself as you ski and resting as you ride back up the ski lift.

It’s a Complete Lower Body Workout

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of skiing is how good it is for your leg muscles. It combines eccentric, isometric, and concentric muscle work, and it uses a wide range of lower-body muscles from the larger quads to the smaller support muscles around the knee, making it an all-around great resistance training workout.

]]> Lindsey Vonn, the 33-year-old Olympic skier from Minnesota, has been hitting the slopes for nearly her entire life. She made her debut at the World Cup in 2000 at the age of 16. Since then, she has won three Olympic gold medals, has collected over 20 world cup titles and over 80 race wins in total.

A Natural Talent

In the sport of skiing, it takes a special kind of talent, combined with a level of commitment and competitive drive that most could never imagine. That’s because in these races, it comes down to milliseconds and precise angles. In one race, Vonn beat Italian skier, Sofia Goggia, by just two-hundredths of a second, and in most races, she reaches up to 80 miles per hour, leaving no room for error.

But it wasn’t all easy for Vonn, who has faced multiple serious injuries that would cause anyone to hesitate about getting back up on the horse. She’s suffered concussions, torn ligaments, fractures, broken bones and even serious abraisons to her face. In one race, she fell and somersaulted down the slope screaming as she passed spectators.

Over time, she has developed a relentless determination to be the best, which has led her to be one of the top athletes in the world and one of the strongest female skiers in history.

Making A Name For Herself

Vonn is only one of six women who have come in first place in all six slope styles in the World Cup including downhill, giant slalom, slalom, super combine and super-G. Now, she’s asking the Federation Internationale de Ski to allow her to race in the men’s downhill competition. After being initially turned down, Vonn is recruiting male skiers to back her up in her request.

With her unparralled skills, fearlessness and persistence, Vonn is easily one of the most impressive athletes out there, male or female.
