Jan 4, 2019

Everyone is always looking for a way to start and stay active in the New Year. This is the time to start setting new goals and trying different routines. But did you know that by getting a hitch accessory installed on your vehicle could help you accomplish your fitness goals? Check out these awesome ways a hitch can help you get fit!

Bike Rack

Many people love to go bike riding as a form of exercise. However, things can get tricky when you’re trying to bring your bike along to the park or trail. Whether you’re going with a group of people or even on your own, there may not be enough room to fit your bike(s) into the vehicle. Getting a bike rack installed to your vehicle can solve that problem! Instead of cramming your bike into the car, get a hitch installed on your vehicle so you can attach a bike rack. The Allen Sports Premier Spare Tire 4 Bike Rack or Thule APEX 4 Bike Rack can help transport up to four bikes at a time, which is perfect for group trips. With a bike rack, you’ll be able to get up and go at a moments notice and start accomplishing your fitness goals.

Tow At Home Gym Equipment

Making time to go to the gym may be harder for some people because of their hectic schedules. So why not bring the gym to you? Buying your own personal fitness equipment might be easier to do, so you can workout whenever you want without having to drive to a gym. With a hitch installation, you’ll be able to attach a trailer so you can transport all of your equipment home. Whether it’s a treadmill, elliptical, or a set of weights, a cargo or utility trailer will be able to fit it all.

With a hitch installation, a busy schedule won’t be an excuse for not accomplishing your fitness goals!

Ski and Snowboard Carrier

Don’t let the cold weather keep you from going outside and staying active! Many people love to go snowboarding and skiing as a form of exercise and enjoyment during the colder months. Attaching a hitch to your vehicle will allow you to put a Ski and Snowboard Carrier on your car. With this installment, you can bring your personal skis and snowboards to the slopes. Not only will you be having fun, but you will be burning calories too! For more information on how to transport your snow gear, click here for ideas.

 

Cargo Carrier

Hiking is a great way to work out your whole body! Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced hiker, there are different hiking trails for all levels. You do, however, want to be prepared for your hiking adventure. According to rei.com, these are some of the items you should bring on your hike:

  • Hiking Backpack
  • Hiking Boots or Shoes
  • First Aid Kit
  • Food and Water
  • Weather Appropriate Clothing
  • Navigation Tools (Map and Compass)

But how are you going to fit all of this equipment into your vehicle? By getting a hitch installation, you can attach a cargo carrier to the back of your vehicle to fit all of your hiking needs. A cargo carrier will securely maintain all of your items and has a weight capacity of 450lbs. So if you want to bring any extra fitness gear with you on your hike, a cargo carrier will be able to fit it all!

A hitch installation can help you accomplish many of your New Year fitness goals. Whether you’re going on a bike ride, hiking, skiing/snowboarding down the slopes, or working out from home, a hitch accessory can help you do it all.
