Weekend Fitness Warrior

Weekends are the best!! You can catch up on sleep, maybe do a little hardcore cleaning in the house, or you can get outside and be a "Fitness Warrior". I always admire those folks who get up early on a Saturday or Sunday to get their FIT on. It makes me want to get out there with them.

When I first moved to Los Angeles, I promised myself to go to the beach every weekend to go running. It lasted maybe three months. But since moving to a better location in LA I'm ready to get going again and become the "Weekend Fitness Warrior" that I was before.

Things you can do to be a "Weekend Fitness Warrior"

1. Join a bike club or run club. They're usually free and they send invites for weekend rides and runs.
2. Go hiking. Just wear proper attire and bring water.
3. Try swimming at the lake or beach.
4. Sign up for a race. This will help you get out on the weekends.
5. Join a sports team such as softball, volleyball, basketball, and flag football. These are usually fun because you can meet new people.

Here are some websites to get you started:
