It’s time for spring training — and we’re not just talking about baseball. Before the warm weather draws you out on epic and physically demanding adventures, here are a few favorite getaways for getting in shape this spring.
Embrace Cold Weather Workouts in Alberta, Canada
Snow covers
Alberta well into spring, so take full advantage of the extended season through cold weather workouts.
- Snowshoe Adventures – Achieve mindfulness in the mountains during forest bathing sessions. Professional mountain guide Ronna Schneberger guides participants through snowshoe EcoYoga adventures near Canmore.
- Fat Biking – Designated fat biking trails can be found around Alberta’s mountain resort communities. Our favorites include Pyramid Lake in Jasper National Park, the Canmore Nordic Center (where Olympians train), and along Spray River in Banff.
- Cross-Country Skiing – Cross-country skiing is a major calorie burner, but you’ll be so distracted by the views it won’t feel like a chore. The prettiest spots to glide through the woods are found along the Great Divide Trail in Lake Louise and Pocaterra trail in Kanaskis Country.
Blend Food & Fitness in Albuquerque, New Mexico
We’re all about the “retox to detox” life and recommend heading to
Albuquerque where you can pair culinary indulgences with fitness to burn off consumed calories.
- YogaRitas – Order margaritas straight to your yoga mat at this eccentric class held every Sunday at El Pinto Restaurant. Combining low sugar margaritas with an intense work out, YogaRitas is not just yoga, it is a style of its own: part yoga, part pilates, part barre, part zumba and part dance party.
- Wine & Pilates – As an undiscovered wine country, Albuquerque is home to a number of smalll vineyards, including Casa Rondeña which hosts a weekly pilates and wine class. Sounds rejuvenating to us …
