As a member the professional fitness community, I am always happy to see people outside exercising, playing sports or just recreating in general. Needless to say, I just got back from a trip to Hawaii and was amazed at the amount of "recreating" that goes on there - particularly in Honolulu. I was able to take a few walks outside of the typical tourist areas and were amazed at the number of people who were able to get out of work and immediately start exercising.
We saw everything from yoga in the park to surfers heading to the beach - it was amazing. Coming from New England, where we have 4 solid months of outdoor-activity capable weather (at most), we were truly impressed (and a little jealous).
