I started this group to meet others interested in exploring the whole natural fitness movement that is blossoming out there right now. This might include things like hiking, playing in nature, body weight exercises, natural/ tactical gymnastics, barefoot running, paleo nutrition, etc, etc. I am exploring these activities and ideas and would like to meet others in the Twin Cities doing the same.  This will be a meetup for people who want to share ideas, exercises, activities and your favorite nat …

I encourage women to focus on adding physical activity to their lifestyle instead of counting lost pounds.

… If you’re not sure you’ll “fit” with a ride, email the ride leader for the ride (click on “email” under the person’s profile photo on their profile page) and ask! If we think a different ride would be a better fit for you, we’ll tell you. Safety first! Helmets are REQUIRED on all of our rides. If you come to one of our events without a helmet you cannot ride with us on that day, sorry it is not personal. We will gladly welcome you back for the next ride when you have a properly fitted helmet. …

Zumba is a latin-inspired dance workout and you don't need to know how to dance. Come and get in great shape or better shape with fellow Zumbaers!

I enjoy going for a run at a very leisurely pace but I don't run on a consistent basis.  I'd like to blame it on a busy schedule but the real culprit is lack of discipline. I'm looking for a small group of women who will provide each other with motivation, encouragement and accountability. Every week, I would like to schedule one evening run during the week and one morning run on the weekend. Most runs will be in Cottage Grove or nearby. It might also be fun to register for a few local races or, …

We hike local parks near the Twin Cities.  Our hikes are somewhat more strenuous/ rigorous than those offered by most of the area meetup groups.  The group is social, but also fitness-oriented.  The pace is moderate, but everyone is expected to keep up. Until the foliage gets thick later in the spring, most of our hikes will include some off-trail travel (i.e., through the woods). We try to build something novel into each hike, which could be off-trail, going somewhere completely new to us, hiki …
