While I haven't finished my tour of Wilton's great outdoor spaces for this blog, I thought I would share some other physical activity thoughts and opportunities with you.
Next Saturday, June 5th is National Trails Day - "On June 5, 2010, American Hiking Society and outdoor enthusiasts across the country will celebrate the 18th annual National Trails Day®, a long-standing celebration of America's magnificent trail system and its countless supporters and volunteers. More than 1,500 events will take place around the country including trail maintenance, hiking, paddling, biking, horseback riding, bird watching, running and trail celebrations."
What a great way to get some fresh air, some fun exercise, and see a little bit of the countryside. And, you can even get your kids involved with a coloring contest - check this out!
Not sure where you're going when you're hiking in the mountains - there's an app for that! Check out the latest GPS app here.
As I was thinking of what to put in this blog this week, I thought I would come up with some other physical activity options besides hiking and biking. It's not important what you do, just that you do it!
Rowing - You can burn around 500 calories an hour rowing and think of the different view you get from the water!
Tennis - Burn 400 calories an hour playing tennis!
Kayaking - Burn 350 calories and again get to see a different perspective from the water!
And my favorite pasttime - golf - (walking with clubs not riding!) - Over 400 calories per hour - and you know golf is not a sport you can play in an hour!
These are all great activities that you can enjoy either here in Wilton or right down the road in Norwalk. These are all activities that you can get your kids involved in and they'll enjoy AND they'll enjoy spending quality time with you when you join them!
Memorial Day being the unofficial start of the summer season is a great time to thank the veterans who have sacrificed for our freedom and get out and enjoy the outdoor activities available to us all.
Have a great one!
