When I was out west, I got to do some weird
workouts-at least out of the ordinary for me! No, I’m not talking about November
Project :)
I've been saying FOREVER to my boyfriend and friends that I want to do more trail running and hiking in my life so I'm happy that I definitely did some in Seattle and Vancouver.
I completed the Grouse Grind, which if you didn't think walking up a mountain was a workout, you are mistaken. I was drenched in sweat by the time I finished. Hiking up Grouse Mountain via the Grouse Grind is 2,830 steps and 2.9 km (1.8 miles) ascent with 853 metres or 2800 feet of elevation gain. YIKES.
Luckily there is a nice little chalet at the top which meant amazing views as the sunset, food, and beer with friends as a reward! It was definitely one of my favorite out-of-the-ordinary workouts despite being tough! Luckily everyone in the group was up to pay the $10 CAD to take the gondola back down the mountain at the end of the evening. I highly suggest it is a Vancouver tourist attraction if you are up for the challenge.
What is one weird workout you have done lately? Do you enjoy hiking?
Hiking is the best because the views never disappoint. I am loving everyone's Seawheeze recaps. Looking forward to yours!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree-the views are unreal. I just posted my recap today!
DeleteI would never discount hiking as a workout! And the reward is the views at the top as well as the trip back down!
ReplyDeleteHiking is no joke and way tough. I love the reward of making it to the top!
DeleteHiking is actually a good workout. I get used to try. So good! Do you like the Crossfit workouts? They are very useful. ^^
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I actually did Crossfit for a year and a half but running always came first and it was too expensive to only be doing a couple times of week once I started going full-time to school again. It is for sure an awesome workout though.
DeleteCongrats on your hiking! I'll go to prAna, so thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day!
