Free workouts in Vancouver, BC

by Steph on March 23, 2009

With the current recession, I understand that sometimes you just do not have a lot of extra money to spend on equipment or fancy gyms. Today, I will share with you how you can have 7 great workouts without spending any money.

1. Walk or Run up and down the steep hills at Queen Elizabeth Park.  There are some steep hills that will get your heart rate up and improve your cardiovascular.  As well, you can then check out the beautiful gardens and the conservatory at the top.

2. Go to Douglas Park, it has a huge field for running or playing with the kids.  Go out and enjoy some family time as well as getting your exercise for the day.

3. Wash your floors by hand.  If the weather is terrible, take advantage of this and get all your cleaning done and have a workout at the same time.

4. Rollerblade around Stanley Park with a friend.

5. If you don’t like rollerblading, how about cycling around Stanley park?

6. Take a hike up the Grouse Grind.  Yes there is a reason why it is called a grind and you should try it first hand.  The view at the top is amazing.

7. If you want a long hike try The Lions on the North Shore.  It takes about 7 hours and is about a 15 km hike and it is beautiful.  Go early if you are going on the weekend because it is very busy.

These are just a few places that Vancouver has to offer and it is all free.

Have a great workout!
