It's kind of ironic that the very things I enjoy so much are the same activities that bring good long-term health! Our Ohio winters can appear colorless from inside our homes, but in the woods, the fadings of winter permit previously hidden colors to pop out in lovely contrast.

These are some superb shots capturing the best elements of nature. I'm amazed that you caught all this in the later part of the day when you had to curb your shooting.

While playground monkey bars and some "old-fashioned" push ups will work in a pinch for upper body work, I'm a big fan of the strength training alternatives offered at my gym.   JJ: You can't be much taller than me. A big stride would be essential in keeping up with that husband of yours!   Donna: So true. That nature connection generates an energy far beyond what one might produce on one's own.

Not an easy run, but somehow so much easier than a treadmill because of the surrounding beauty... Jean-Luc: ~Always necessary but especially prized through the long cold winter months.

There's something special about outdoor exercise. I think it's the connection with nature. It feeds your soul as well as your muscles. Great photos, Heather.

I have the short stride syndrome happening too when I exercise mostly on the elliptical. When I then walk outside I feel like a little old lady. I must keep those strides strong. :D Hugs, JJ Heather, what gorgeous nature pics!!!

Fresh air and sunshine rules. But I'll do the gym in a heart beat. It's nice to be able to squeeze in an efficient work out when you're pressed for time. I just love your dedication! :) I’m with you guys… Fresh air and sunshine rules. But I’ll do the gym in a heart beat.

Interesting pictures ! Take care Heather. You are right ! any amount of exercise on a treadmill could not beat a climb up the hill alongwith a wave of clean, fresh air. Interesting pictures !
