Fit Maine

Let's do fun stuff that also happens to be good for our bods.

Swim laps and water aerobics at greater Portland’s indoor pools [via Portland Phoenix]

Don’t banish your swimsuit to the summer clothes bin crammed under your bed just yet. The swimming lanes are open again at a few Portland-area pools, including the Riverton pool on Forest Avenue, the Davan pool in Westbrook, and the pool at South Portland’s Community Center.

Home workouts: Online fitness classes from your favorite Maine-based gyms, studios + trainers

Now is probably a good time to acquire a fitness routine, both because it's good for your health and also to prevent yourself from going downright stir crazy in your living room in the coming weeks. Supporting a local studio/gym/trainer sure is swell, too.

Work Out Yoga

Yoga with the alpacas: Head to Westport Island for a class in the grass at Lulu’s Barn – via Portland Phoenix

Do yoga in the grass next to Lulu's Barn & Alpacas on Westport Island, where you can relax into savasana, gaze up at the canopy of trees framing the sky overhead, and listen to alpacas pulling up grass and munching away contentedly. It's a wonderful sound.

Cycling

Free ride (please tip your guide) – via Portland Phoenix

For the month of June, Summer Feet is offering “Tours for Tips,” free guided bike rides for locals. At the end of the ride, simply tip the guide.

Ride on: Virtual 2020 Trek Across Maine
