If you are thinking about fun outdoor activities, here\u2019s what spring in Novi Sad has to offer.<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

Even the most cynical people around us can hardly stay indifferent during warm weather, longer days and people smiling in the streets. It\u2019s no surprise that we feel the urge to be more active as soon as the sun is out, especially after sitting at home for months. We\u2019ve always associated spring with new beginnings, so why not use it as an opportunity to start practising new healthy habits? Luckily, there are many locations in Novi Sad that could help you with that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outdoor gyms<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you didn\u2019t spend all your time in the house in the last couple of years, then you must have noticed the number of outdoor gyms. Novi Sad is trying to provide as many outdoor gyms to its citizens as possible. These are convenient for both professional and recreational athletes, and they might as well be an entrance ticket to the world of weight trainings, but cardio trainings as well, which your lungs and heart will be thankful for. There are already more than twenty outdoor gyms in the city, which is quite impressive. Next time you feel like working out, hit the closest gym in the open. Unlike breathing stale air in the gyms, outdoor workouts are free, while spending time outside in the fresh air and getting natural vitamin D through sun exposure can be a bonus.<\/p>\n

Locations where you can find outdoor gyms are the Quay, Detelinara (10 Gagarinova Street), Ja\u0161e Tomi\u0107a, Jovana Du\u010di\u0107a and Patrijarha Pavla boulevards, \u0110a\u010dko igrali\u0161te, Liman Park, 1300 Kaplara Street, Ticanova, Blagoja Parovi\u0107a, Milice Stojadinovi\u0107 Srpkinje streets, as well as the Sajlovo, Veternik and Petrovaradin neighbourhoods\u2026<\/p>\n

Running tracks<\/span><\/h2>\n

They say you don\u2019t need a lot to run \u2013 a pair of running shoes and willpower. Still, surfaces such as concrete and asphalt aren\u2019t that friendly towards your knees and joints. If you want to start running this spring, you might want to do it on a surface suitable for such an activity. That\u2019s right, we\u2019re talking about running tracks. They are made of different materials, but all tracks have one thing in common: they\u2019re rubbery and elastic, therefore, adapted for running. In Novi Sad, you can run on the running track along the entire Belgrade Quay<\/a>, or in \u2018Limanski park\u2019 that has a running track called the \u2018Health Track.\u2019 We urge the pedestrians not to walk on the tracks (yes, we know how squishy those are) so that the runners can exercise without any obstacles. Maybe you can even try running with them!<\/span><\/p>\n

Simple Solutions<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a recreational athlete who likes to run from time to time, not too often, you don\u2019t have to worry about your joints. If you don\u2019t have any nearby running tracks, it\u2019s absolutely okay to run on an ordinary surface as well. Futo\u0161ki Park is a quiet place that has a lot of greenery, more than other parks in the city, and thanks to that it offers cleaner air and beautiful views. The Boulevard of Europe and the park next to the Railway Station are also great options, as well as Sajmi\u0161te and a levee next to the DTD (Danube-Tisa-Danube) canal. However, if you want to run in a more natural environment and you\u2019re not too lazy to leave the city, check out Kameni\u010dki Park. It might not be suitable for beginners, since it doesn\u2019t have organized tracks, it\u2019s more about your skills. The uneven surface will also add up to the intensity of your workout. Finally, you can even run at the Fortress, while HIIT (high-intensity interval training) lovers might find the stairs interesting!<\/span><\/p>\n

Football Fields and Basketball Courts<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re not a solo player and you enjoy group activities and chitchats, we don\u2019t even have to tell you where the best basketball courts and football fields are. Naturally, the best one is the closest one! We are sure you\u2019ve already found your favourite field\/court, if not, check out the nearby school backyards and green spaces within residential buildings. Given that there are more than 100 football fields and basketball courts, there\u2019s no doubt you\u2019ll find something for yourself in less than half an hour!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0160trand<\/h2>\n

It’s not warm enough for water sports yet, but it\u2019ll be in a month or two. And when the nice weather arrives, you can go to the \u0160trand beach. There, in addition to chilling and relaxing, splashing about or tanning, you can swim as well. However, if you\u2019re not a professional swimmer, make sure to go with someone how is, since the Danube is a risky river. In the meantime, on \u0160trand (which celebrates its 110th birthday this year<\/a>), you can enjoy plenty of other activities \u2013 walking, beach volleyball, basketball\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Skates, bicycles, walks\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n

Every flat surface we\u2019ve listed above can be suitable for walking as well \u2013 provided you don\u2019t disturb the runners, as we already mentioned. If you choose biking, you can enjoy numerous cycling tracks, but be careful and look after both yourself and other people. The same goes for the fans of skates and roller skates (which are becoming more and more popular).<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget!<\/span><\/h2>\n

Before you dive into any physical activity \u2013 whether it\u2019s doing something in the open or indoors \u2013 make sure you warm up. How needs injuries anyway? Get some comfortable clothes (intended for exercising) on. But be careful! Before you end up spending a lot of money on different brands, check out some less expensive \u2018no name\u2019 brands. In reality, an ordinary cotton shirt will do just fine. Make sure you have appropriate shoes \u2013 there\u2019s a difference between running shoes and gym shoes intended for isometric exercises. Don’t forget to bring your water bottle since you\u2019ll sweat a lot and, therefore, be thirsty. In order to make sure you\u2019re safe enough (if an injury is to happen), you can bring along someone willing to exercise with you. It\u2019s always more fun working out with someone, no matter how big of a solo player you are.<\/span><\/p>\n
