Are you working on your summer bod? Trying to find a unique way to keep fit while having fun this Summer? Than look no further! Bergen County is home to a lot of great ways to keep in shape, while still maintaining an active and entertaining lifestyle. These are our top picks to help you get in shape this season!

The New Jersey Shore is an amazing way to not only experience the best of Bergen County, but to tone and trim your body down at the same time. Therefore, kayaking has made our list of the must-do fitness endeavors that you just have to experience this Summer! Our local outfitter, the Hackensack Riverkeeper, is a must-try adventure that is sure to help you keep fit this season, while providing you with an entertaining outing. The outfitter boasts more than 50 watercrafts, including canoes and kayaks, so while you’re paddling around and enjoying the sun, you’ll be burning those unwanted barbecue calories. Hackensack Riverkeeper offers rentals, which means you won’t have to invest in equipment before you try it out! They even offer water tours. So whatever you’ve been procrastinating in your fitness regime, we think hitting the water in a boat is one of your best options!

No matter what you say, yoga is here to stay! It’s everywhere! But do you really want to be inside a studio this summer, when you could be living large and experiencing Bergen County’s beautiful outdoors? We didn’t think so. Take in the Garden State while you experience Yoga on the Lawn. These short, yet effective, classes take you outdoors and get you back to your grass roots. An experienced and certified team of yoga instructors not only lead the class, but help promote your better living! Have we motivated you yet? We thought so! Check out Yoga on the Lawn by getting in touch with the Palisades, Taub Campus. All you’ll have to bring is your mat and your special water bottle.

OK! We get it! Yoga and river life isn’t for everyone! Looking to live life in the fast lane? Why not try tuning up your derrière at the annual Ramapo Rally. Grab your bike and your helmet and join the masses for an outdoor experience not to be missed. You’ll ride the trails and embark on a cycling journey that brings you closer to the New Jersey you know and love. While the club runs all year round, we know that there’s never any better time to start than in summertime. The event not only raises funds for charities, but gives you the opportunity to network with some new people and experience everything a bicycle club has to offer. Whether you’re committed to the day or committed to becoming a member, the Ramapo Rally is loads of fun and will leave you craving your next adventure.

Family fitness isn’t only fun, but vital to a healthier and stronger you! Why not embark on your fitness journey with your family and experience Venom Fitness.
