Los Angeles may be a sprawling mess of a city, but there tons of ways you can get in touch with your inner tree hugger without having to leave the city. So detach yourself from that Stairclimber and grab some SPF 45.
South Bay Bicycle Trail
You don’t have to bike all 22 miles of this seaside bike trail (unless you are super hard core!) to enjoy the sights and sounds of LA’s beach communities. The path does get rather crowded around Venice Beach (watch out for those Rollerbladers!), so exercise caution.
Venice Canals
If you want to unleash your inner kayaker but don’t want to brave the waves of the almighty Pacific Ocean, then take a gentle cruise down the Venice Canals. You might encounter the odd pedalo, but otherwise it should be smooth sailing, er kayaking.
Speaking of pedalos, if you want to peddle your way to sexy calves rent a boat at Lake Balboa. It’s not Lake Michigan, but it beats biking your way to nowhere at 24 Hour Fitness.

Get Out
Polliwog Park
This Manhattan Beach park has a Disc Golf (aka Frisbee Golf) course, so you can throw Frisbees into iron baskets to your heart’s content!
Venice Skatepark
If you’re feeling like a Lord of Dogtown, then hoof it to Venice Boardwalk where you can do mad tricks on all kinds of ramps at this beachy skate park.

Extreme Things
530 S. Lake Ave Pasadena, CA 91101
If you’ve been practicing your rock climbing skills on indoor walls and want to test your mojo by scaling the real thing, then call up Extreme Things. They organize rock climbing classes in Idyllwild and Joshua Tree, so you can climb rocks in the great outdoors (as opposed to inside an air-conditioned gym).
Windsports Soaring Center
12623 Gridley St Sylmar , CA 91342
You may ask yourself, what’s left for outdoorsperson who’s done everything? Hang gliding, of course! Anyone can learn to soar through the air at the training park at Dockweiler beach. Just remember to leave your fear of flying at home.
Windsports
Sunset Ranch Hollywood Stables Inc.
3400 N Beachwood Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90068
If you’re yearning to get back in the saddle again, or if you’ve never been in the saddle at all, Sunset Ranch is a great place to commune with mother nature’s car, the horse. There are day rides and night rides in case you fancy yourself a night owl.

The Surfing Rabbi
Are you looking to become spiritually enlightened AND learn how to hang ten? Then call up Venice’s Surfing Rabbi for a surf lesson! You can take a lesson with the Rabbi (Nachum Shifren) in Venice or sign up for Kosher Surf Camp in Hawaii (that means no puaa).

Warped Paintball Park

Holmby Park Lawn Bowling Park
