If you like your exercise with a view, Miami has some pretty eclectic ways to get your cardio on.

9610 Old Cutler Rd, Coral Gables, FL
Take a hike through the mangrove-lined nature trails. Just make sure you bring the mosquito repellant. -
Venetian Pool

Swim beneath waterfalls and through caves at this chilly spring-fed oasis surrounded by coral rock. -
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park
PO Box 487, Key Largo, FL
Go on a chartered snorkeling expedition in the waters of this 178-nautical mile coastline attraction. Kick those fins, now. -

Take in the artsy exhibits before going for a brisk three-mile jog through the Ibis Walking Trail that circles the lush University of Miami campus. -
