There are plenty of ways to up your fitness game and outdoor activities can be super rewarding. Here are some of the best outdoor workouts you should totally try to fit into your schedule this summer.

Stand-up paddleboarding
Here’s a really fun way to stay fit and seriously work out your core, while strengthening your balance, strength and endurance. Chances are you’ve seen plenty of celebs taking to the water, paddling and exploring all at the same time. Paddleboarding is a great way to get outside and if you’re looking to get a fit body, this is a good way to feel the burn.
