With the temperature still cold and the days remaining dark and grey, staying active in the winter months may be a struggle for most.
Despite these challenges, the Nottinghamshire fitness scene aims to keep locals motivated by introducing variety of trends to keep people active. This way, the fitness scene has something to cater to everyone.
For those that may prefer to go on a nice walk with a view, the county is home to some stunning green spaces and there are plenty of walking trails through historic estates. You can also wander around one of the county’s country parks, canals or our iconic Sherwood Forest. Walking trails offer the perfect environment for socialising.
Some may prefer cycling rather than being on their feet and Nottinghamshire has loads of fantastic cycle trails for cyclists of all abilities. As well as keeping you fit, cycling is a great way to explore the city’s beautiful natural surroundings.
As much as physical fitness plays a part in winter well-being, mental health has also become a key focus for the fitness enthusiasts this season. Most people are turning to mindful exercises like pilates and yoga which are offered at various local studios such as The Reformer Studio.
