If your job involves being stuck in an office all week, youâll know the benefits of getting out and breathing in some well earned fresh air at the weekends.
Whatever outdoor activities you are into, youâll find plenty of options are available in Houston. If you like the idea of pounding the pavements, pull on your jogging shoes and check out Memorial Park, which is a haven for joggers of all shapes and sizes. You can stop for a breather and visit the nature centre while youâre there.
If a casual walk is more up your street, youâll get plenty of exercise wandering round the Houston Zoo, which is located in Hermann Park. If youâre there for a few hours, youâll notch up a few miles worth of exercise while seeing the monkeys, sea lions and tigers.
If youâre looking for something a bit more extreme, there are always the immensely popular Boot Camps, which are run at several locations in and around Houston. These are designed for people who want to lose weight and get fit, and although they certainly achieve that aim, they are not for the faint of heart. Classes take place in parks around Houston, giving you the chance to enjoy some fresh air while you are testing out your fitness levels.
