LET’S GO OUTSIDE

Ditch sweaty gym sessions for the great outdoors

Take your downward dog to the secret roof garden on top of Selfridges, courtesy of Triyoga (on Tuesdays at 10am until 2 September, classes suitable for all levels; from £20 including a fresh cold pressed juice; triyoga.co.uk). For real-time salutes to the sun, head to Rooftop Yoga’s sunset session in Peckham, which takes place on top of the multi-storey car park next to Frank’s Café. At only £10 a class, you’ll have enough change for a post-Vinyasa Campari (rooftopyogapeckham.co.uk) Insanity workout DVDs are addictive, but your front room is going to get hot and sweaty at this time of year. Personal trainer Andy Morton teaches Insanity classes, a 50-minute HIT programme developed in the US, in Hyde Park and at Regent’s Park Running Track. Morning and evening classes are split into four sections focusing on endurance, balance, agility and core. Be prepared to be pushed. Pay-as-you-go £8 per class (motive8tion.co.uk) It’s a big craze off the Ibizan coast and even along Venice’s canals; now Active 360 offers Stand Up Paddleboarding along the Thames. It’s great for balance, core and arm strength. You can take SUP classes from just under Kew Bridge or on Brentford Lock before heading off on independent trips or competing in 2km races from the Paddington Basin to Little Venice. Just don’t fall in! Lessons from £40 (active360.co.uk) Fancy running home, but worried about your dry-cleaning/supper/20kg make-up bag? Fitness First has come up with Home Run for a healthier commute: choose from one of four routes — Bank to Clapham Junction (via Waterloo); Tottenham Court Road to Highbury; Liverpool Street
