Where does your exercise take you?

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

The benefits of exercise sre obvious, but finding peace in the great outdoors further enhances my happiness. How about you?

[TruthBeTold77]

Those pictures look beautiful.

Unfortunately I just end up at the nearest all ladies gym. Unfortunately there's nothing that's beautiful and peaceful by myself. I'd have to travel a couple hours for that. Which isn't really realistic.

I live in the mountain west area of the United States. Myself and a couple friends gif out for 5 hours or so. We drove a couple hours to this area for some high altitude riding (7,000-10,000 feet above sea level (

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

The solitude was very beneficial!

[TruthBeTold77]

That actually sounds really nice. I guess it's something that could possibly be done couple times a month depending what you have going on in life. I remembered there actually is a nature reserve not to far from myself. I do enjoy going there sometimes, although I say sometimes but I actually haven't been there in about 4 years 🤦 I did always find it peaceful over there tho plus there all different tracks and you can find different pieces of art on each track. Reminds me I still need to find the HUGE chair that makes you look like a midget. 😅

I like dance workouts. Makes me feel happy and excited to workout. I also love swimming, being water is my favourite thing ever.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

The sound of water, whether it's a stream or waves crashing is so relaxing. I'm not an incredibly strong swimmer, but I could swim to save my life, so I guess that's good.

As long as you can swim to safety and stay afloat, you’re good 😄 I started swimming lessons when I was 3, I’m 25 now so a looong time aha

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I had swim lessons when I was young, and now our children are having swim lessons, so I spend some time in the pool, but I really enjoy swimming in natural non-man-made waters :-)

[Opinion Owner]

Definitely the best thing you can do for them 😊 but agreed! I swam in the Mediterranean when I went to Cyprus, jumped off the boat with some friends, it was incredible!

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

We have been in the Pacific and the Atlantic, as well as the Florida gulf. Hawaii was definitely the best.

[Opinion Owner]

Hawaii sounds wonderful

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

It was! Hoping to go back again someday when we have the money saved up :-)

[Opinion Owner]

Nice! I’m sure you’ll be there soon 😊 I’m saving to go to Jamaica next year with a friend

As for me my exercise is going to take me walking on the beach tomorrow. In the morning I’ll pack my cooler & throw on my sunscreen & bathing suit.

[ProbablyClueless]

My athletic endeavors have let me see a lot of cool scenery. I mostly just enjoy feeling like the tension is leaving my body through the exercise.

To my home gym. Weather is never an excuse for me (it used to be but I eliminated the possibility).

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

Having a space to always push some physical exertion is so beneficial! Are used to do some workouts inside, but one year, maybe seven or eight years ago, I opted to buy clothing and gear that forced me to do most of my exercise outside. I'm saving up for a Fat bike so I can cruise on the top of snow in the coming years.

[Andres77]

Fat bike, like the 3.5” wide tires?

[Andres77]

I also workout at work in the sun so I’m definitely getting my vitamins d.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I think that would qualify as a fat bike. A couple of my friends who own one, have up to 5 inch wide tires. This is like paddling a sled on the snow.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

Fucking spellcheck!
They say it's like paddling a sled on snow

[Andres77]

I’m gotcha

[7Phoenix7]

I totally agree. Trying to find a walking/hiking buddy to do it with me

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I hope you find someone that will share those peaceful moments!

[7Phoenix7]

Thanks!

[mandyfire98]

That's why I love hiking.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

We didn't see any cars or see any other people for almost 6 hours yesterday. Just the sound of the bugs and other critters, fulfilling their natural obligations :-). The cows were a real treat.

[mandyfire98]

That's always a nice environment to be in when you can kind of disconnect from society for a while

[LoverOfBooty23]

Can I hike with you? Preferably behind you

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

@LoverOfBooty23 good grief 🤣

[LoverOfBooty23]

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

[mandyfire98]

@LoverOfBooty23

[LoverOfBooty23]

[MiddleAgedClimbee]
