Exercising Outdoors

Summer is almost over. As we are all so loyally going to the gym and working out, what is left of the summer sun beams through the gym window, you look outside as you are sweating yet barley cooled off by the air condition mixed in the stale smell of your sweat and the sweat of your fellow gym members. The sounds interrupted by that great mix on your ipod are machines from the equipment and weights clicking. You once again look outside and wonder, would the feeling of fresh air and natural sun would be an alternative to the perfect workout.

Although the gym has many variations for equipment the outdoors is just as great. There is wonderful scenery as you work up a fresh sweat. Working out outside enables you to burn more calories and use more muscle due to the natural incline of the road or path and our bodies naturally adjust to the environment changes. Another benefit is an enhanced mood, better sleep and breathing. The fresh air naturally purifies our bodies. Last, the sunlight gives a wonderful dose of vitamin D.

If you motivation is lacking to go to the gym, go outside for a great workout, fresh air, and wonderful view of your city.
