Increase those Vitamin D levels! A recent study published by the Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that outdoor exercise, specifically during the summer months, significantly increased people’s levels of Vitamin D in comparison to those who exercised indoors. Vitamin D is essential for maintaining healthy bones, muscles, and immune function.
The Journal of Environmental Psychology found that exercising outdoors in nature led to improved cognitive function and decreased stress. Participants who exercised outdoors in natural outdoor environments showed greater attention and working memory improvements compared to those who exercised indoors or in urban environments.
A recently published study found that exercising outdoors improved people’s mood and mental health. The research included participants who exercised outdoors during the warm summer months specifically. Those involved in the study reported increased feelings of revitalization and recharging, decreased tension and depression, and an improved sense of well-being.
Did you know? A survey conducted by TD Ameritrade found that the average American spends approximately $155 per month on fitness-related expenses, which include gym memberships, personal training, and fitness classes. Bringing your workout outdoors can save about $1,860 per year.
The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that outdoor exercise during the summer improved cardiovascular fitness when compared to indoor exercise. Participants who exercised outdoors also reported greater enjoyment and a greater sense of accomplishment compared to those who exercised indoors. Additionally, outdoor exercise led to greater caloric and fat burn, even when exercising at the same intensity.
Exercising outdoors is a great way to get some fresh air, connect with nature, and boost your mood while simultaneously getting a great workout. If you’re ready to take your workout outside, there are some important tips to keep in mind to stay safe and comfortable during your workout.
Before heading outside to get a workout in, it’s essential to check the weather to ensure exercising outside is safe.
Remember to apply sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent sunburn.
We recommend you bring a water bottle or sports drink with you and take sips regularly throughout your workout.
Consider creating a new playlist with your favorite upbeat and motivational songs to make your outdoor workout more enjoyable. Music can help you stay focused and energized during your workout.
Dress appropriately for the weather conditions and activity you’ll be doing. Lightweight, breathable fabrics are ideal for hot and humid conditions, while layers can help keep you warm in cooler weather.
