Summer is here, which means warm weather, enjoying the sunshine, and participating in all your favorite seasonal activities. If you need some inspiration to get moving this season, check out the list below for ideas on how you can get active! 1. TAKE UP GARDENING Gardening is an excellent and approachable way to get moving this season. Even if you don’t have a huge yard, you can participate in this activity through container gardening on a porch, windowsill, or in a sunny spot in your home. If you don’t have a green thumb but still want to participate in gardening, some easy plants to care for include: snap peas, sunflowers, aloe vera plant, and marigolds. 2. GO FOR A SWIM Swimming is low-impact, gentle on the joints, and a good cardio workout. Swimming is a fun and healthy activity, whether you’re swimming laps, floating, or tossing an inflated ball with a friend. And nothing feels better than jumping into the pool on a hot day! Sign up for a class at your local YMCA or fitness club to get started. You can even incorporate some aquatic weights if you want to work on some strength training. 3 FUN WAYS TO MAINTAIN FITNESS IN THE SUMMER

3. FIND A HIKING TRAIL Hiking is a great warm-weather activity to participate in, especially if you enjoy taking in the sight and sounds nature has to offer. If you live near a hiking trail or a scenic area, definitely take advantage of it when you can, and always remember to wear the right footwear so as to prevent ankle injuries and bring water!
