Hello HealthTrip Travelers!
The many outdoor fitness activity opportunities along with the breath-taking beauty of this southwest city are sure to keep your heart pumping during your stay in Aerobiquerque! Hiking among dormant volcanoes, mountain biking, and dancing are among some of the favorite aerobic activities enjoyed by Aerobiquerquians. And by watching them incorporate activity into daily life, we can be inspired to boost our activity level. Gather inspiration from what you learn in Aerobiquerque to identify aerobic activities you can try this month, including swimming, basketball, or ellipitical training. Remember there is no ideal activity for everyone. Choose an activity or two that you enjoy and will stick with for the long term.
