We all know regular exercise hasmyriad benefits. From improved
mood to decreased belly fat,working out is good for
everyone. Getting your exerciseoutdoors has some specific prosabove and beyond just getting a
quick jog in on the treadmill.
It's FunThe sun shining down, the smell of fresh,
green grass, and a light breeze acrossyour skin — who wouldn’t choose thatover staying indoors? Taking time for
fitness in the great outdoors makesworking out more fun. Studies show it
can even make you more likely toworkout again.
Bigger BurnWhen you workout outdoors, you’llprobably burn even more caloriesthan you would working out in thegym. Studies of runners (treadmill
vs. outdoor running), cyclists(stationary bike indoors vs. outdoor
riding), and walkers have shownthat people exert more energy in
the outdoor activity.
Sleep BetterIf you workout in the morning sunshine, you will help set yourcircadian clock, which will both help you fall asleep and wake
up more easily.
Save Money
The average gym membership costs about $55 permonth. That’s nearly $700 a year. Not a small price topay for fitness. If you spend just half the year working
out in nature, you’ll save yourself enough for adesigner bikini to show off that figure you’ve been
working so hard on or a nice little bonus to yourretirement fund.
Get your Vitamin DSpending enough time outdoors in
sunlight helps you get your Vitamin Din. A great health benefit!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)recommends that adults aged 16 to 64 should get two hours
and 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week,including two days of muscle strengthening moves. It can be
done in 10-minute increments. A brisk walk to the cornerstore could count as one of your outdoor mini-workouts. Just
three, 10-minute walks, five days a week will meet the CDCrecommendations and bring you all these incredible benefits.
