There are many reasons why training outside is better than a gym workout. One of the most obvious ones is that there are no mirrors in nature! This means you can be distracted by how you look while working out, which makes it easier to focus on getting your heart rate up and burning calories. You also get to enjoy the great outdoors, and all that Mother Nature has to offer, like fresh air, mountain views, and wildlife. It is a great way to stay active during long winters or rainy days when there’s not much else going on outside. And finally, if we should happen to have an emergency where power grids go down for some reason (e.g., natural disaster), people will still be able to work outdoors.
Lowers blood pressure and reduces stress.
Studies have shown that physical activity outdoors lowers a person’s blood pressure and heart rate. As a result, exercise outdoors feels less strenuous than similar exercise indoors, which, in turn, pushes you closer to your maximum performance. So, train outdoors, push yourself to the limit and keep breaking your record!
Helps with insomnia
When you exercise outdoors, you get fresh air which helps to alleviate insomnia. In addition, regular exercise and fresh air will help you fall asleep and improve the quality of your sleep!
Sunshine
When training outdoors, you can also enjoy the benefits of sunshine. Fresh outdoor air and natural light invigorate and provide more energy for the mind and body. Sunshine provides the vitamin D that we need, and you will get a suntan while training and the sun will lift your spirits! Sunlight also enhances energy generation in the muscles and oxidation of the tissues.
When training outdoors, take account of the possible harm caused by excessive sunlight, such as dehydration and sunburn. So don’t forget protective sunscreen and hydration while preparing outdoors!
Free of charge
Outdoor workouts are often entirely free of charge because exercise parks, sports tracks, stairs, and other outdoor exercise locations are usually open to all and free of charge. So outdoor exercise is good for your wallet!
It saves time and nature.
Think creatively about your surroundings and devise an intensive training session on a nearby jogging track, hill or stairs, for example. Training locations are often closer than you think! Using nearby places saves time and natural resources since there is no need to take your car to your workout. Did you know that the exercise products we provide are designed, manufactured, packaged, and transported to their final location while keeping the environmental load to a minimum?
Variation in your regular workout
Break the routine! Perform your indoor workout outdoors and include movements such as bodyweight exercises, which are easy to do outside. Most bodyweight exercises are multi-joint movements and, therefore, super practical! A bodyweight workout will enhance your coordination, balance and mobility in particular.
The chance to try something new
Take your workout to a new level. Try something new! Take advantage of new training opportunities to add content to your standard workout or create a whole new routine. Have you already tried activities such as parkour or street workout? Make your workout different, more effective and refreshing!
