There are a number of places you should work out at because of the challenges of the workout, beauty of scenery, variety and other motivating reasons. These are all places I have either exercised at, ran a marathon or plan on visiting because I have read and heard so much about. Here is my list of places you should work out at:
I visited Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on vacation last year and I enjoyed it so much I cannot wait to revisit. I had planned on relaxing but the early morning workouts called me and I could not waste the beautiful weather. I had amazing beach runs, beach workouts, swims and lots of walking with the family. I even participated in a family fun run with the children and they are now begging to revisit because of these memories.
We frequent Pittsburgh several times a year to visit my in-laws and every workout has been better than the last. I enjoy running through Pittsburgh because of the challenging hills, cool weather and friendly people. As I run through Pittsburgh everyone is always so warm and inviting, I often want to stay. You can sightsee, go shopping and even visit the Steelers while getting a great workout in when visiting Pittsburgh!
Bike across the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco with the wind in your hair. Run through Marin county and enjoy the beauty. I almost moved to California because it is just that beautiful and every way you look, you see more people exercising. Or you can reach your inner athlete by heading to ocean to surf the waves. You can enjoy the sights amongst getting great workouts.
I ran the Thunder Roads marathon in Charlotte, North Carolina several years ago and I experienced some rolling hills that were quite challenging, friendly crowd support and a beautiful city. I would love to revisit there one day. This is a great place for you to visit and get some great workouts in while you are there.
I hope you have enjoyed my list of great places to workout and I hope you get to experience some as well. What is your favorite place to work out at and why?
