When it comes to sports, there are not many that I would say I am necessarily really good at. Skiing? That’s my jam. Back in the day, when I was just a young & delicate flower, I was faced with one of life’s many difficult decisions (first world problems.) Should I focus all my efforts on ski racing? Or, diversify my athletic portfolio and learn to do some other things. Naturally, I chose to focus all my attention on skiing. Because how could I not… it’s so awesome! Just to START bragging about how awesome this sport is… think about the travelling, dangerous high speeds, thrill of the competition, and the views. Ohhhh those gorg mountain views. Skiing is something you can do for your entire life, and it is such a great way to stay fit.
Anyways, the point of this post is to talk about maintaining your fitness by doing the things that you love. The gym is great for staying fit year round, but sometimes it can be nice to skip the gym and get yourself outside to do something that you love!
This can literally be anything. Do you like walking? Get outside and walk! Do you like bike riding? Brush the dust off your bike and take it for a spin! It makes exercise so much more fun if you are just doing something you love. For me that is skiing, and oh sweet baby jesus do I love it. The best part? I am getting in a killer workout and not even thinking about it!
So… tell me! What are your favourite ways to get active outside the gym?!

Thanks you 🙂
I love skiing and I’m prepping for this year (going to buy some new skis in the next half hour …) I agree that when you’re doing something you love it’s a lot easier and more fun to stay in shape 🙂 I’ve been doing an awful lot of climbing too lately ! It’s great !

Thats awesome! Climbing is so fun too 🙂
Looks like fun! I have never been skiing. I would probably fall a million times!
No way! You should totally try it out 🙂
I have never done any skiing in my life. It looks like a lof of fun but scary at the same time.
It can be a bit scary sometimes! But definitely REALLY fun 🙂
Boy I miss skiiing out in CO!! The weather and air was perfect.
The air is so crisp and clean! Love love loveee it 🙂
Freaking gorgeous! I would love to be there!

Looks like a great start to the season out there. We have had our first snow fall over here in Scotland and looking forward to getting out to the Alps again in a few weeks. Enjoy the mountains and get up there as much as possible!!
Cheers and love the blog
