Aurora has a lot to offer to a healthy lifestyle, they have lots of open space for bike rides and runs. early morning run along the Westerly Creek Trail into Central Park is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors. If you would prefer to bike over running, Aurora has bike rental shops located throughout town. There are 60+ miles of bike-able trails, connecting all major points in the city. for a cool afternoon ride, go from Southlands Mall to Aurora Reservoir and circle the lake. On a bright sunny day enjoy paddle boarding, and kayaking both of which can be rented for a fun day on the water at Aurora Reservoir.

Learning how to cook is so important for your health, Create cooking school at Mondo Market would be a great place to take some cooking classes. Its a fun event you can do with a friend or significant other and you can learn about cooking rather then shopping in the frozen food section or eating out every night.
