With gyms and studios closed, we have all had to find innovative ways to get in our daily workouts and stay healthy this past year. While at-home workouts can usually do the trick, there are only so many indoor activities you can do. Summer will soon be here and we can get back to enjoying the outdoors as the weather begins to warm up. Even better yet we will be able to work out with friends! To celebrate the upcoming summer season we have put together a list of our favourite parks to do an outdoor workout in. Roll up your yoga mat and get ready to breathe in the fresh air and soak up some Vitamin D at these stunning locations around the city.
