Whether you’re a runner, walker, gym-goer, or just trying to move more and sit less, Cedarburg is packed with ways to stay active—and actually enjoy it.


At Evolv Physical Therapy & Performance, we believe movement is medicine. So we put together this go-to list of active things to do during the week and on weekends right here in Cedarburg (and a few nearby spots we love too!).

Let’s make this week one that feels good in your body—no boring treadmill required.


🏃‍♂️ WEEKDAY WAYS TO MOVE

1. Take a Call while Walking on the Interurban Trail

Take your phone call while walking on the Interurban Trail. Whether you're starting at Cedar Creek Park or near Grafton, it’s an easy way to get steps in while getting things done.

➡ Mobility bonus: Add walking lunges or hip openers along the way.

Check out more information on the Interurban Trail here: https://www.interurbantrail.com/


2. Lunch Break Pickleball at Adlai Horn Park

Grab a paddle and a friend! Cedarburg has some great outdoor courts for a quick, sweaty lunch break session. (And yes, we can help if your knees or shoulder bark afterward.)

OR

Bike to The Daily Dose in Cedarburg! One of our favorite smoothies is the Berry Banana

Check out their hours and menu here (trust us... you will be drooling): https://www.dailydosejuicebar.com/


3. Sunset Yoga or Mobility in Cedar Creek Park

Bring a mat (or just use the grass) and flow through 10–15 minutes of mobility work under the trees or by the creek. It’s the perfect way to reset after a busy workday.

➡ Try: Deep squat holds, cat-cow, and 90/90 hip rotations.


4. Visit the Cedarburg Community Pool for Lap Swim

Water is a great way to mix up your workouts and give your joints a break. Cedarburg’s pool has open swim and adult lap times on weekday mornings and evenings.

➡ Great cross-training for runners and anyone rehabbing an injury.

🌞 WEEKEND ADVENTURES & ACTIVE FUN

5. Saturday Morning Run + Coffee

Hit one of Cedarburg’s beautiful routes (like the Ozaukee Interurban Trail or Covered Bridge Park paths), then reward yourself with a local brew from Cedarburg Coffee Roastery (Be sure to try their Cedarburg blend) or Fiddleheads (LOVE their iced white mocha).

➡ Pro tip: Bring a buddy, dog, or stroller crew.



6. Bike Ride from Cedarburg to Grafton

Cruise the Interurban Trail or explore the scenic backroads between Cedarburg and Grafton. Pack water, wear a helmet, and make a stop for lunch at Juice’s Ghost Town (Love a good Friday Fish Fry here) or Foxtown Brewing (Definitely try their big pretzel)

➡ Not into biking? Walk part of the trail and still enjoy the scenery.

7. Explore Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve

Just a short drive away in Grafton, this hidden gem has boardwalks, bluffs, and stunning Lake Michigan views. Take your time, bring a picnic, and stretch those legs.

➡ Ideal for family hikes, romantic walks, or solo mental resets.

8. Stretch & Shop Downtown Cedarburg

Turn a day of shopping and strolling into an active outing. Walk the length of Washington Avenue, check out shops, and don’t forget to stop at Amy’s Candy Kitchen (Of course for one of their caramel apples).

➡ Mix in standing calf raises, toe taps, or shoulder rolls between shops.




💡 Quick Active Ideas (Any Day of the Week)

  • Park further away on purpose 🅿️

  • Do 5 squats every time you check your phone 🏋️
