With the rising temperatures, this weekend is the perfect time to go out and get moving. Visit Milwaukee shares some family-friendly fitness activities perfect for those who have a hard time finding the motivation to workout during the winter season.
There are plenty of indoor activities for those of you hoping to stay out of the snow this weekend. Many of them are so fun you won't even realize you're getting a workout.
One option is indoor rock climbing atAdventure Rock. Adventure Rock has locations in Brookfield and Milwaukee.
