Different people are motivated to exercise by different things. While some people are enticed by the peace of a solo run or bike ride on the trails, other people prefer the social component, the structure, and the opportunity to learn promised in group fitness classes. However, when it’s so nice outside in northern Wisconsin, it’s difficult for even the most dedicated fitness buff to be motivated to step away from the lake or the woods and into a studio in order to work out. Luckily, there are several Up North organizations that offer fitness classes outside. These yoga, mountain biking, general fitness, and paddleboarding classes offered in spectacular settings are sure to inspire even the most reluctant exerciser.
