This group is founded on the belief that civilized people like to sleep in on weekends, and lead their active lives in the afternoon. Hiking is not only exercise, it's also a great chance to socialize in pleasant surroundings. All hikes will finish with dinner at an affordable restaurant willing to do separate checks. Suggestions for new routes are welcome, but will only be considered if the hike is at least 4 miles long and an appropriate restaurant at the end of the path is recommended.  Rou …

I started this group to assemble backpackers for the purpose of finding great folks to section-hike the Appalachian Trail with. Beyond my personal desire to hike the AT, this group is dedicated to everyone who is looking to section hike any part of the trail from Georgia to Maine (this started out as an NYC/NJ/CT group, but we are expanding this group to a National level). If you are an experienced backpacker, join the group and send me a message to become an organizer and attract folks to join …

I decide to start this group because I enjoy walking and love Central Park. The 6 mile loop is challenging and great as part of my exercise routine. It would be great to have a group of women who also enjoy walking to help me push myself to go there and push my time to make it a challenge. This is for women who are interested in walking at a brisk pace for 6 miles, or working up to walking at a brisk pace.

The Afterburn was created to encourage people to live their life powerfully through life changing experiences. For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet …

Let's get together for walks in Central Park while talking about whatever comes to mind plus health, healthy living, food & cooking, wellbeing, spirituality, and intuitive living. I am a Health Coach and have my own business working with clients. I'd love to meet other like minded people and hit the pavement for some exercise while we're at it!

Exercise and discipline are key elements in raising a healthy, balanced, and happy best friend. Walking with our dogs is awesome for both us and our dogs. It is great exercise and great for our health, soothes anxiety, and strengthens the bond between us and our dogs. This group is just about that. It is about fun, good health, and making good friends, for both us and our pups. We plan to hold dog pack walks that meet in various parts of Central Park. We welcome dogs of all sizes and just reques …

They say that 40 years in the desert was enough time outdoors for the Jews. I think they are wrong. Tired of the old Jewish social scenes built around overeating and getting drunk at holiday times. This group is about getting together with other Jewish people having fun, hiking, having outdoor adventures, and just having a good time together. Need a fun way to work off the kugel, while getting in shape, and meeting similar fun people. Want to meet similarly minded Jewish singles. We will have ac …
