As the sweltering heat of the summer fades and the cooler breezes roll into Peoria, it's the perfect opportunity to take your fitness routine outside. Supplementing your gym time with outdoor activities is not just refreshing—it's a great way to keep your workouts diverse and stay motivated. Here are some fun ways to enjoy the great outdoors and keep active in the cooler weather.

Hiking the Trails of Peoria

The landscapes surrounding Peoria are nothing short of a hiker's paradise. With the weather mellowing out, it's ideal for exploring trails like Sunrise Mountain or West Wing Mountain. Not only does hiking offer a fantastic cardiovascular workout, but the varying terrains also challenge your stability and strength, giving your lower body a killer workout while you soak up the scenic vistas.

Cycling Around the City

Peoria's bike-friendly paths are another fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you're cycling along the New River Trail or taking a leisurely ride through the city's park system, cycling is an excellent way to boost your endurance and work on your leg strength. Plus, feeling the cool wind as you pedal is a refreshing change from the gym's air conditioning.

Outdoor Yoga for Serenity and Strength

With the sun being less intense, practicing yoga in a local park or your backyard can be incredibly calming and grounding. Outdoor yoga can help improve your flexibility, balance, and core strength, all while connecting you with nature. Check out Rio Vista Community Park for some open space perfect for your sun salutations.
