Maybe you've always dreamed of fast packing the Inca trail or surfing Hawaii's North Shore or ice climbing in Norway but getting there seems too involved. No worries, there are tons of fitness adventures to be had within miles of where you live. All you have to do is find a place that sound exciting then start planning your activities around your destination. We planned a fitness adventure just like this to Lake Powell, Utah, and The Grand Canyon and we enjoyed kayaking, hiking, and bouldering. Every workout leading up to this trip was about being fit enough to handle four days of non-stop activities. Women's Health Magazine
has a monthly feature called You Can Do This that shows you exactly how to make it happen!2. Run Walk or Bike for A Cause.

Dean Karnazes author of 50/50: Secrets I Learned Running 50 Marathons in 50 Days -- and How You Too Can Achieve Super Endurance!
says "There's something about the goal of finishing a marathon, or even a half-marathon or 10k, that enables an individual to establish exercise as a daily habit and shed excess weight.

You got your workouts scheduled, your healthy meals all planned out, your fitness gear ready but do you have the support of other people just like you who have days when workout motivation is non-existent or weeks when exercise motivation is so low that it's hard to workout with the intensity it takes to really burn the fat.
