10 Ways The City Is Your Personal Gym

Pound that pavement. The city can wear you out before you even get to the gym — better keep a bottle of smartwater handy as you take to the streets.

1. Five-story walk-ups are like your personal stair climbers.

2. Apartments might be tight, but roofs are MADE for sun salutations.

3. When you hit the streets, you're always doing a brisk jog to make the light.

4. And when it rains, it's a dead sprint from one hideout to another.

5. The city provides plenty of benches for stretching your tired muscles.

6. Getting to work can be the calf raises you never knew you needed.

7. That is... if you're not riding a bike in your big corporate suit.

8. Zig-zagging past slow walkers is better than your elliptical's cross-training setting.

9. Bringing home groceries? That's one looooooong set of bicep curls.

10. And at the end of the day, we all know the subway is just one long core workout.
