First of all, fresh air has more oxygen than circulating indoor air (such as the air that you would be breathing in a gym). Having access to more oxygen fires up your muscles and improves your metabolism. Another incredible benefit of outdoor exercise is that working out outside allows for the absorption of more Vitamin D through exposure to natural sunlight. Vitamin D optimizes our hormones, increases bone and teeth health and promotes general well-being.

 

Did you know that what you look at while you exercise can change your happiness levels? Science has proven that taking in natural green views (such as leafy trees, grassy hills, green pathways, etc.) actually raises your serotonin levels and lowers cortisol (stress). That means that working out in nature can make you happier and less anxious. And not only this, but your mind will be more stimulated than during an indoor workout. Working out outside triggers primal regions of the brain and stimulates the senses much more than exercising inside a gym.

 

Exercising outside can do amazing things for your mindset as well. Just by getting out into nature for your workout, you can improve our focus and self-esteem. Additionally, outdoor exercise has been proven to increase feelings of well-being and lower depression in participants.[/vc_column_text][ultimate_spacer height=”30″ height_on_tabs=”30″ height_on_tabs_portrait=”30″ height_on_mob_landscape=”30″ height_on_mob=”30″][ult_buttons btn_title=”Your Workouts” btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fplaylist%3Flist%3DPLCn9WHaIa4vQAbvPrvRYHnMUHzo46OYkN||target:%20_blank|” btn_size=”ubtn-custom” btn_width=”300″ btn_height=”60″ btn_padding_left=”15″ btn_padding_top=”3″ btn_title_color=”#ffffff” btn_bg_color=”#dd3333″ btn_hover=”ubtn-fade-bg” btn_anim_effect=”ulta-grow” btn_bg_color_hover=”#ffffff” btn_title_color_hover=”#dd3333″ icon=”Defaults-youtube-play” icon_size=”32″ icon_color=”#ffffff” btn_icon_pos=”ubtn-sep-icon-at-left” btn_border_style=”solid” btn_color_border=”#ffffff” btn_border_size=”1″ btn_radius=”15″ btn_font_family=”font_family:Open Sans|font_call:Open+Sans” btn_font_size=”desktop:22px;”][ultimate_spacer height=”50″ height_on_tabs=”40″ height_on_tabs_portrait=”40″ height_on_mob_landscape=”40″ height_on_mob=”40″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”vc_default” bg_type=”grad” bg_override=”ex-full” css=”.vc_custom_1491183172926{margin-top: -25px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 25px !important;border-bottom-width: 25px !important;}” bg_grad=”background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #639654), color-stop(100%, #46693B));background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#639654 0%,#46693B 100%);background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#639654 0%,#46693B 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top,#639654 0%,#46693B 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,#639654 0%,#46693B 100%);background: linear-gradient(top,#639654 0%,#46693B 100%);”][vc_column][vc_column_text]
