Keep it Moving

Keep it Moving Fitness-minded vacationers may be worried that their exercise routines may go down the tubes while on Block Island. But vacationers need not fret — you may actually benefit from the change in pace and environment, which can provide new and entertaining ways of exercising. There are many traditional fitness options available on Block Island –like yoga and barre classes but there are also nontraditional ways to burn the calories off like pool aerobics, trampoline exercise classes, kayak tours and paddle boarding. A new craze you can find on Block Island at Elevation Studio is alpaca and goat yoga — a wildly trending class — you get to mingle with the animals at the 1661 Farm & Gardens. While you are over in New Harbor, located around the Block Island Maritime Institute Center, you can find multiple outfits for kayak and paddleboard rentals, and kayak tours. Early morn ing sunrise runs or sunset walks on the beach can provide that perfect vacation feel to your exercise routine. There are plenty of ways to ‘feel the burn” that don’t involve laying in the sun on Block Island.
