Summer is finally here and that's great news for nature lovers and outdoors exercisers alike.

Today, I went for a lovely walk at Little Bay Park, up by the Throgs Neck Bridge. The sun was beaming brightly on a bevy of exercises of all shapes and sizes. There were Sunday afternoon strollers, streaking roller bladers, cyclists, runner and families just out to walk the dog.

For those who need more structure, check out your local parks department websites. New York City's Parks Department offers a host of exercise programs, including walking groups, tai-chi workshops, yoga and much more.

So get outside and play!
