Get Moving Monday!

Happy Monday to you all!  After a fun filled weekend it is back to the grind... and back to the workout plan, but working out in Milwaukee doesn't have to be a drag!  One of Milwaukee County's greatest treasures is the Oak Leaf Trail.

The Oak Leaf trail is over 100 miles of multi-use trails that weave through all the major parks in the Milwaukee County Park system.  One of the great things about this trail is that, unlike other trails in Wisconsin, this one is open to all forms of activity.  Feel free to bike, skate, run or walk on these trails.  The trail is made up of for the most part, off-road paved trails and park drives.  Municipal streets are used when necessary to keep the route continual.

This trail is especially beautiful as you head south from the Bay View-South Shore Park area and down along the lake.  On a hot day, this is where I escape to get both my workout and my tan on.  Being this close to the lake, the breeze cools you and the view keeps you motivated to keep pedaling or treading on.  Next time you are lacking motivation to get in motion head out on the trail and enjoy the sites.
