As we get into summer why not take your exercise outside? As a general rule, when you look at your calorie burn, an outdoor workout uses about 30% more calories. Hills, wind and varying temperatures act as natural resistance factors, plus the uneven ground creates greater activation of your core and balance muscles!
Light affects mood! So getting out in the sun – even when its behind the clouds – helps create a “good mood” feeling. Plus being out in the sun provides Vitamin D – the sunshine vitamin. This vitamin is boosted from sunlight and has been shown to bolster our immune systems and help with bone strength.
Lastly, training outside has been shown to boost feelings of self esteem and self worth! This is linked in with the idea of “connecting with mother nature”. Spending time in the environment enhances feeling of connectivity with your natural environment… In essence it’s good for your soul, plus it’s a great laugh!
