With the warmer weather, why not head to the beach for the day. In May, beaches are less crowded so you can even get in a run along the beach without dodging a crowd of people.

If you have already opened the pool in May, get in to swim some laps. Swimming is a great cardiovascular workout without the pounding of some other forms of exercise since you are in water. The key is to swim continuously, without a break for as long as you can, to build endurance and raise your heart rate. This is also the way to burn the most calories. Enjoy swimming as one of your May workouts because it is effective and fun.
6. Bike Ride Blast

Get outside for a bike ride to explore the neighborhood on a beautiful May day. Set a mileage goal so that you have something to work to. Invite some family or friends to join you for this workout so that you can have a blast and burn some calories.
7. Register for an Event
In the warmer weather, there are many walking, running, and biking events on nearly every weekend. Register for an event so you can support a charity while you get your workout in. This is also a great way to get your workout in without having to stress over the time you have to exercise. This is a great way to take your mind off your fitness and get have fun!
