One Rock at a Time

Avoid the winter blues with some indoor fun!

I love fall, and winter does have its up side, with the holiday cookies and all. But I have to admit that when the weather gets colder, I do miss my afternoon walks around the neighborhood.  

Okay, I admit that I see many brave souls out there jogging when it's 20 degrees, but once I can see my breath, I’m an inside exercise kind of girl.  

So I got to thinking. What can I do to get some exercise, have some fun, and stay in shape during a season when I feel stuck inside and I’m climbing the walls?

Well, how about climbing some walls?  

Right here in New Rochelle, I found “The Rock Club,” a sport climbing facility right off I-95 and walking distance from Metro North.

If you are a qualified, experienced climber, you can take advantage of “open climbing” on a walk-in basis. If you are a beginner, there are some requirements, so take a look at the “getting started” page on their Web site for details (see address  below). 

They even have opportunities for kids to get involved, so you can turn it into a family event!
