Working out in the city (summer only) is one of my favorite things to do... (too bad eating is also my favorite thing to do in the summer!)
Tribute to the Sun
Riverside does free yoga classes several times a week. This might be may favorite. We lay our mats right along the river and pay tribute to the setting sun!

Yoga in Fort Tryon
Fort Tryon is a hidden jewel of NYC. Most tourist don't make it up that high on the island so it is quiet. Sometimes I think I like it more than Central Park. All the trees and bushes are over grown. During yoga I have seen skunks, beavers and bats.
style-span">Thai Chi in Bryant Park
It seems like Thai Chi has been the new "thing" lately. Bryant Park has free classes on Tuesdays. Thai Chi is a lot like yoga (holding one positions for long periods of time) but you are standing the entire time. Occasionally you get to yell things out and make karate sounds!

Jackie O
This past month, Robert has been commuting to the East side for his internship. I ride the subway with him to Central Park and then dodges taxi's on his classy Huffy bike to the East side. I go for a run around the Jackie O. It is amazing to watch the sun rise over the city!
Bryant Park Yoga
Free yoga in Bryant Park. Over 500 people attend. Beautiful view of the city sky line. Kinda weird to have so many tourist watching and taking pictures.
Summer Streets
The last 3 Saturdays of August they shut down 5th ave from the Brooklyn Bridge all the way up to Central Park. Robert and I ran the whole route. It was amazing to run in the middle of what is usually a busy street.
Park under the Brooklyn Bride
This one is on my list for this week!!!
This has been Robert's idea of working out lately. Poor kid, he is working around the clock!
The other day I was on the subway going to Central Park for a run. I was watching some kids break dance on the train and noticed one of them looked like an old student. He looked at me and his eyes got huge. I ran over and gave him a hug infront of all his friends. He was embarassed! Haven't seen him in over 2 years. Totally made my day!

Now if I could just stay away from Levain Bakery, all this working out would make a difference :)
