Get out!
Need a little encouragement to exercise? Try a workout alongside thousands of others with SELF magazine’s Workout in the Park — Central Park — Saturday.
New Yorkers can sweat doing yoga, pilates, CrossFit and more. “The Biggest Loser’s” Bob Harper is hosting and teaching a “body blast” session. His diet tip? “One of my big rules is no carbs after lunch,” he says. Tickets, $30 at Self Workout in the Park. 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Rumsey Playfield (enter at 69th Street and Fifth Avenue).

Eye on Coney!
Sunbathers, strongmen, swimmers and schmoozers — Aaron Rose surreptitiously shot them all, from 1961 to 1963, on the beach and boardwalk of Coney Island. See his work at the Museum of the City of New York, where “In a World of Their Own” opens Friday. He calls his subjects “that gritty, sunbaked flesh of humanity … To me, it’s an artist’s dream.” 1220 Fifth Ave., at 103rd Street; Museum of the City of New York.

Billy’s day!
It’s sure to be a garden party when Billy Joel takes the stage at MSG Friday night at 8. It’s the piano man’s birthday. And at 65, he’s showing no signs of slowing down. So get in that New York State of Mind, and feel free to sing along.
