My absolute favorite place for cardio interval training is my local rail trail in Eastern Dutchess County, New York.
It’s along the now defunct Conrail line. I bike, hike and run here. It’s so peaceful and tranquil all my stress and worries just evaporate. I see critters such as wild turkey, deer and a variety of woodland birds. There are bear in “them thar hills”, but I have yet to see one – a good thing I guess. In these trying times, it’s nice to know I can quickly escape to somewhere peaceful to get back to the basics.
I do all sorts of body weight training exercises here, including wind sprints, jumping jacks, mountain climbers, off trail hill walking and more. Here are some pictures from my sunrise training sessions:
