With all the recreational activities available in Austin, it's almost impossible not to lead an active life. The city is filled with more than 50 miles of walking and cycling and endless opportunities for recreation in its many parks and neighborhoods of the city. Here are just some of many ways (and places) that can stay fit – during all seasons:
Walks and trails Bicycles – Austin's mild climate is ideal for runners, since they can train outdoors in all months of the year. Town Lake is the most popular area, followed by the Barton Creek Greenbelt.
Town Lake Trail – 10 miles of track stretching from MoPac to Longhorn Dam and back, with many more short circuits in the middle. The area near Auditorium Shores is a peak in the evenings and weekends, so if you are looking for a quiet race, company at it from Longhorn Dam in a less populated area.
Barton Creek Greenbelt – The Barton Creek Greenbelt covers 809 hectares and offers a picturesque 7.9-km hike and bike trail. It can be rocky in certain areas, so this way is more suitable for runners looking for a challenge, and hikers and cyclists. Along the way, you will find walls of cliffs, swimming areas, and lush vegetarian. This is a path of singular beauty, in the spring when the creek is flowing. Barton Creek Greenbelt is accessible from the Loop 360 and is open 5.10
The Veloway – The Veloway is a paved road that lasts for 3 miles through Slaughter Creek Metropolitan Park. It is a great place for cyclists and skaters, and walkers are prohibited and brokers. The trail is accessible from MoPac, but is in an isolated area so that you do not hear traffic noise from the street. It is open daily from dawn to dusk.
Kayak – Kayak and Rowing is an affordable and easy to learn activity can be done in most of the year. You will find several places around the city of Lake offering kayak kayak and canoe rental by the hour or full day. Costs are usually around $ 10 – $ 15/hour. The Rowing Center Texas (http://texasrowingcenter.com/) also offers classes in kayaking, canoeing and rowing.
Swimming – The city is filled with swimming areas for children, adults, and even training for a triathlon or event professional. Barton Springs – This is perhaps the best known of the pool in the city. Located in Zilker Park, is, of course, springs and has a water temperature year around 68 degrees all year. It is a great place for kids and adults alike, but it gets very busy during summer weekends. Cost: $ 1/child, $ 3/adult
Deep Eddy Pool – This historic man-made pool is the oldest in Texas. It fills an alternative smaller and less to Barton Springs Pool, though you can still engaged in hot summer days. It's great for adult swimmers looking for a swimming pool and children looking for a place to wade. It is normally open between February and November. Cost: $ 3/adult, $ 2/child (12-17), $ 1/child (11 years)
Yoga – Yoga helps increase flexibility and tone muscles, among many other benefits. It is a great exercise for those wishing to get fit, or runners and cyclists who want another way to stay in shape. Even if you've never done yoga, it is easy to start with many yoga studios throughout the city. There are outdoor venues and classes specialty offered in the parks and even unique, too many, like the Blanton Art Center.
Hopefully these give you a good start to increase their level fitness. Keep these ideas in mind next time you're looking for something new or just want to get outside and enjoy the weather.
