As weather changes so should we

As the weather gets nicer it comes to a point where going to the gym and hitting the treadmill for cardio is just not that fulfilling.  Over the last month i have discovered that while treadmills are great in the winter when it is really cold out walking on them is not really a reflection of how you are gonna do on the outside.  I have a long journey ahead of me so I am always looking for ways to push myself harder but also keep it fun.  Recently I started doing Zumba at the gym.  It is so much fun Latin dancing like a fool.  I'm not gonna lie either I am one of few dudes in the class so that's not bad at all.  Its 45 minutes of constant motion and you do it to the best of your ability.  Besides my new Latin dance craze I find myself doing more walking outside.  I have even decided that if I'm not in a hurry to walk instead of driving places.  My buddy lives about 3 miles from my house I decided to walk to his house for a meeting i was having there instead of driving it was awesome.  I have even began bringing my lazy dog out with me.  Hes pretty sluggish through most of it but i can tell he is starting to really enjoy it.  Walks are great different views different terrain and elevation changes its invigorating.  My ultimate quest would be to get to a point where i can comfortably ride a bike to and from work.  I could walk there but 6:30am starts make that a not very appealing option.  The important thing is i am moving more and more and i have a smile on my face the entire time.
