It is said that vigorous exercise is the fountain of youth.  And, though we are all human and subject to bodily frailties, there is no question that a strong discipline of exercise and nutrition are the keys to a long and healthy life.  To that end, the outdoors provides the best combination of opportunities and enjoyment!  Running, hiking and biking are lifelong activities which definitely combine both elements of exercise and the outdoors.  Also, there is no question that our location of Greenville, SC in the southern Appalachian region offers some of the best weather and beautiful outdoor resources to be found.  One of our favorites is the “hidden jewel” of Greenville County, the Paris Mountain State Park.  But there are SO many others.  Check out our links to other favorite places and organizations.  And, let us know about any of your favorites!
