We get it: sometimes you just need to get outdoors. After all, the sun is beckoning, and if last winter taught us anything, it won't be here forever. Follow that warm weather-chasing urge straight to summer fitness at some of New York City's top outdoor classes! From yoga to running and boot camp to tennis, here are 12 ways to add some Vitamin D to your next sweat sesh.
