Fall into the Outdoors

October is well underway and you may have seen the leaves changing color.  First things first: get inspired to be active!

Let's consider some fun and unique ways to be nimble:

Curious about Yoga, Pilates, and the secrets of the downward facing dog?  Why not try a beginner's class like Mae K recently did.  Then, head into the backcountry and track your hikes like Sarah I and Emma C.  Perhaps you're living the climber lifestyle?  Check out some vertical adventures including friends bouldering in Yosemite National Park and Mike P’s hard sport ascents!  If you can't get 'out there', unleash your active self locally at the gym and achieve goals just like Ken HSophia B, and George S have.  Tantek C and Gian F have also been active in their cities and Stella M recently enjoyed a bike ride around Central Park in NYC.

Need a bit more inspiration to loosen up your sweat glands?  Why not train for the Big Sur Half Marathon like Minji W and Wayne J or go running along the streets of San Francisco like Paul M?  Maybe crossing that glorious finish line isn't your thing.  You could get busy by with kickball games like Ariana V or canoeing like Alea T.  Perhaps lying on the beach in Hawaii, climbing with an ocean view, and learning to surf is your watery calling?  Sounds exactly what Joyce K and Maria L are stoked to do next month!



After all these activities, you'll probably want to refuel and what better way than to grab some Clif Shot Bloks and plan your next active trip.  Whatever you do, track it on Skimble.  You'll get a bunch of activity points that will surely impress your friends ;p
