Do you exercise outside, go to the gym or do you alternate? These eight benefits may convince you to move your workout outside more often.
1. Outdoor sports are free. But if you like it, you can also join a group that sports outside (free or paying).
2. You can start at any time. You are not bound by opening hours or the times of group lessons.
3. Try sports on the beach. The resistance of the sand provides extra intensity to your training. Other surfaces outside can also ensure that your training gets something extra.
4. An outdoor workout seems easier, because the environment offers more distraction than the four walls of the gym. This also makes the workout less boring. You can go to the forest, a park, the beach and even to your balcony.
5. Exercising outside provides peace of mind.
6. The natural environment has a stress-reducing effect.
7. Because of the fresh air, more oxygen goes to your brain, so that you can think more clearly, you have better concentration and you feel more active and fitter.
