Norwich, CT is a haven for fitness enthusiasts who enjoy scenic outdoor workouts and indoor exercises that offer intense challenges. The citys distinct cultural mix brings together historical sites, lively neighborhoods, artistic events as well as diverse communities which lend themselves to exploration while maintaining an active lifestyle.

One of the top places to get some exercise is at Mohegan Park (19 Baltic Rd, Norwich, CT 06360), a massive park built in the 1920s with over 500 acres of open fields and dense forests that provide plentiful space for hiking or jogging. There are also tennis courts, basketball courts and soccer fields available all year round.

For cyclists looking to burn some calories on two wheels while enjoying stunning views of nature and history should check out Ocean Avenue along Thames River from Preston Street southward through Laurel Hill into New London. This route takes you past beautiful Victorian homes on one side while giving glimpses of sailboats skimming across the water on your other side.

Another great spot for indoor workouts is CrossFit Eastern Connecticut (47 TaftvilleOccum Rd #3B/3C, Norwich, CT 06360) where athletes can experience highintensity functional movements under professional coaching guidance that help them develop superior strength levels in many areas including flexibility, endurance as well as cardiorespiratory conditioning.

If yoga is more your style then try out Prana Yoga Center (384 Merchants Ave #2A1/2A2 Norwichtown Commons Shopping Center Norwich Ct Manchester Store opens soon!) which offers classes ranging from gentle restorative yoga sessions for beginners to challenging Vinyasa flow classes designed to stretch both body and mind alike.

Lastly but not leastly my personal favorite must be hiking or running up Yantic Falls gorge trailhead just north off exit 82YN/S on I395. The trail is steep but its definitely worth it when you reach the top and see the view of the waterfalls!

If youre looking for a city with plenty of history, diversity, culture, charm as well as picturesque landscapes all rolled into one delightful package then Norwich, CT is your best bet. So what are you waiting for? Grab your workout gear and head on out to explore this fantastic place!
