As the Midwestern Fall settles in, I like to reflect on the great outdoor Summer Activities I’d already enjoyed – and the pre-Winter Activities I still have time for!

A few personal favorites that come to mind are:

• Go camping
• Spend a day out at a lake
• Take a small biking expedition
• Go for a hike
• Try (assisted) indoor/outdoor rock climbing
• Get in those last few golf swings
• Go fishing
• Enjoy a nice fall picnic
• Play a great game of Tennis
• Jog with the sunrise

It’s the simple things that keep us going sometimes.  All of these activities are locally accessible in the Kansas City, MO area and can provide great times for you, your friends and your family.  Not to mention they aren’t the largest time commitments in the world.

Staying active is a big part of maintaining your health while keeping your stress levels down, so get out there!  You may even want to invite your Front Door Fitness Trainer out there with you for your day away (…hey — we had to try).

Don’t forget to contact us if you need any help coming up with great pre-Winter Activity ideas.  Just use the form in the upper right corner of this page.

Oftentimes there are many things going on in our local community to get us involved in groups that will keep us active and having fun at the same time.  One such occurrence in Kansas City right now is the KC Slimdown Challenge being presented by the Cerner Corporation (a KC-based business).

Here’s some information about the competition as provided by their website (which you can get to by clicking the link in the preceding paragraph)…

It’s not the most difficult thing in the world and it’s a fun way to accomplish a goal and possibly get a great prize for your efforts.  Here’s a listing of potential prizes that will be awarded to the top teams:

A further listing of the rules for the challenge can be found here on the competition’s “About Page” as well.

So what’s stopping you?  The competition doesn’t end until October 9th!  That means you have plenty of time to get in there and make a good run for it.  Check out their website for more info on the competition as well as some other helpful resources and tidbits.
