Take your Training Outside

At last summer seems to be here (for the moment any way). While the sun's out why not take your training outside. Who wants to be working out in a gym or studio when you could be doing it outside. Studies have shown that the body and mind respondes well outside where you can reconnect with nature. Also you can get some sunlight that will provide a natural source of vitamin D for maintaining strong bones and teeth and can help with improving mood. Combining your exercising in the great outdoors will enhance the experience and lift your mood. Try taking a jog around the local park or bike it in the woods. Use the local park benches and playground equipment for a resistance workout such as chin ups, tricep dips and push ups. A lot of local parks now have dedicated outside gyms so you can do the same exercises as you would do indoors but getting the extra benefits of training outside. Try out a local outdoor class such as boot camp or Tai Chi- the only limit is your imagination. If you choose to train outside don't forget to wear sun protection, hat and carry water to keep hydrated. Come on get out of the house and start exercising outside before it starts raining again.
