Our Approach

---

We have three simple steps.

Get Outside

---

Getting outside will change everything about your workout. You simply can’t obsess about your daily ‘to do’ list outside like you can on the treadmill. The calming affect of nature during exercise takes our minds to a different place. And even if weather in your region keeps you indoors during some seasons, know that your work on the treadmill serves to help you when you are able to get outdoors. Beyond walking, hiking, biking, kayaking and the bounty of outdoor recreation our country offers us you can take practically any gym routine outdoors. You can do lunges, squats, take resistance bands and work your arms as well.

Change your Mind

---

It took Fitness Expert Lorrie Sullenberger many years to stop beating up on her body for how she thought it had let her down. The results from that dialogue were of course predictable: negative thoughts equal self sabotage. We will help you simply stop the negative dialogue first and work your way to positive thought. And getting outside is a good way to start. Walking has a very meditative affect and will soothe you as you go along. The sights and sounds of nature will drown out the old negative thoughts that pop into your head. You will be amazed at the positive snowball effect this will have on every aspect of your life.

Pay It Forward

Finding a fitness buddy as we all know is one of the most affective ways to get healthy. Having someone to hold us accountable. So start a neighborhood walking group, or a walking group from work, the payoff could be big! Join The Adventure

Don’t have time to go to the gym? An intense 15-minute workout may be the solution.

I found the experience exhilarating, the freedom snowshoes gave me to climb or descend any snowy terrain. Even in a resort setting the trails had a remote feeling as if the rest of the world was far, far away. Snowshoeing gave me the opportunity to really experience nature up close and personal. The views and the vastness were all mine and I achieved it with my own two feet.

I started snowshoeing about 7 years ago while training for a hike up Mt Whitney. In those days people laughed at us, but no more. The sport is one of the fastest growing winter sports, and for good reason. Recently Lynn Swan, chairman of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness, endorsed the sport as well as the centers for Disease Control. I was even asked to do a segment for ABC-7’s ‘View From The Bay’ recently about snowshoeing. So the word has spread about this great sport and it is finally getting its due.
