Welcome summer... The flowers have bloomed, the River Valley is green and the stair

climbers are out in their full glory. We only get a few short months of this beautiful

weather that those of us who have lived here our whole lives realize that we need to take

full advantage of it.

In this summer edition of YEG Fitness, we’re talking about some of these activities to help

you get outdoors and enjoying staying fit and keeping active. Whether it’s an outdoor group

class or going for a run or bike ride in the River Valley trail system, there is just so much to

get you moving. And with all the farmer’s markets opening up again, you can keep your diet

in check as well (and feel good about spending some time on a patio in the evening to enjoy

a cold one – life is all about balance).

If you haven’t checked out our latest project City ‘N Social yet, visit citynsocial.com to hear

from some of the business owners and leaders in the city who are doing great things cre-

ating a connected wellness community. We just started up the podcast and have sat down

with a number of these members of the YEG Fitness community to chat about all the great

things happening in our beautiful city.

So stop what you’re doing (after you finish reading this edition) and head out to enjoy the

great outdoors. Go for a stroll with some friends in the evening after dinner. Play a round

of golf or match of tennis with an old friend. Or try out one of the many free outdoor group

classes being offered around the city (you just need to look for them on Instagram). There

are so many great things to do in our city. You need to look no further than your own back

yard to keep active and YEGFit.
