If like me you are struggling to shift those\u00a0few extra pounds picked up over the winter, you may be looking at\u00a0the coming summer months and wanting to get back into shape before you hit the beach. There are plenty of ways you can do this. You could head to one of the city\u2019s excellent public swimming pools, you could join a gym<\/a>, but if you are more of an outdoorsy type, maybe you would prefer to go for a run.<\/p>\n

Here are a few ideas for places at which to stretch your legs and shift those extra pounds.<\/p>\n

Meijo Park<\/h2>\n

Attractive, close to Sakae and relatively small, the track that runs around Meijo Park is absolutely ideal for no fuss, straightforward jogging, particularly for shorter distances. The track that skirts the park is about 1km with distance markings meaning that as you go round you can track your progress, and being\u00a0mostly in the shade, it\u00a0is ideal for avoiding the summer heat. It also has some pretty good facilities, including a workout area with parallel bars, a pull-up bar and a bench for sit ups (all found in a small children’s play area at the north of the park), as well as lockers and showers. on the downside, the track\u00a0gets really crowded on weekends, particularly in the mornings.<\/p>\n
