Get on a machine and flail my body around for an hour trying to burn calories? I don’t know about you, but I’m bored stiff at the thought of going to a gym.
For the scenery and fresh air, I’d rather take it outside and exercise gently in step with nature. Try taking brisk walks, riding your bike to the grocery store (it’s very chic and European!), or frequenting a local park or nature preserve.
Ask the gardener to stay home one week and weed the garden yourself. You’ll find that the closeness with your plants will do you a lot of good, and you’ll discover more birds and butterflies that way.
If you’ve been taking regular yoga classes, by now you should know enough to start your own personal practice at home. Spread a wool blanket onto the lawn and do you yoga under a tree. After all, ancient yogis didn’t develop yoga in a studio, and a sun salutation is, after all, a salute to the sun!
