Denver is an active city with a lot of choices for outdoor recreation —\u00a0we’ve detailed\u00a0eight great opportunities here<\/a>. It is also located one mile above sea level, and the air is thinner and likely much, much dryer than where you live.<\/p>\n

The first thing Denverites\u00a0tell you: Drink water. All the time. You may think you’ll get along just fine drinking when you’re thirsty, but listen. Please\u00a0drink more water. Your body will thank you in the morning.<\/p>\n

And ONA will work to make this as easy as possible. Water stations will be set up across the conference, and thanks to sponsor\u00a0Viafoura<\/a>, there will be\u00a0fruit-infused water bottles in the hydration lounge if you want a\u00a0spark in your H2O. See them in the Centennial Foyer, outside of the keynote ballrooms.<\/p>\n

Other ways to stay active at ONA16:

Yoga w\/o a mat:<\/strong> ONA and SocialFlow are\u00a0hosting a yoga session Friday morning on the Denver City Terrace.\u00a0This will be a chair\/standing yoga class, appropriate for a range of abilities. Professional instructors will lead attendees though moves they can bring back to the newsroom. No mat will be required!\u00a0\u00a0Refreshing smoothies and networking close out the session\u00a0(and there will be Lululemon give-aways!). RSVP today for your spot.<\/a><\/p>\n
