Outdoor Fitness Benefit 1 – Get outside

Outside or outdoors depends on how you say it, is a fantastic way to train, just for the fresh air alone it’s worth it, not discounting the weather, the scenery, the smells (good and bad) and you can do it any time of day or night.
Research suggests that most of us spend 90% of our time indoors which is a pretty alarming. The human body and mind was never designed to spend 90% of its time secluded from the outdoor world.

Outdoor Fitness Benefit 2 - Higher Levels of Post Exercise Endorphins

Research papers suggest that people who train outdoors may experience higher levels of post exercise endorphins. Endorphins are endogenous opioid compounds that are produced in the pituitary gland and hypothalamus during exercise. They act as natural pain-relievers and produce a feeling of wellbeing. The name endorphin derives from the words 'endogenous' and 'morphine' i.e a morphine like substance originating from within the body.

Outdoor Fitness Benefit 3 - Invigorating

Fresh air is refreshing and invigorating. This is due in large to the rich negative ion content of fresh air. Negative ions have been linked to an improved sense of wellbeing, increased alertness, decreased anxiety and a lower resting heart rate. Hence the surge in ion bracelets!

Outdoor Fitness Benefit 4 - Boosts Serotonin Levels

Exposure to sunlight helps boost serotonin levels. Serotonin helps you feel calm, alert and capable.

Outdoor Fitness Benefit 5 - Increase in Vitamin D Levels

Sunlight helps supply the body with Vitamin D, a 'superstar' nutrient which helps promote the absorption of calcium, provides strength to bones, reduces systemic inflammation and boosts the immune system. Sadly many of us, particularly in cooler climates fail to get enough sunlight and thus synthesize enough of this great vitamin.

Outdoor Fitness Benefit 6 - Exercise Variety

Outdoor training allows you to perform exercise routines which are simply not possible in most gyms. Examples would include sprint training, multi-directional running and throwing.

Outdoor Fitness Benefit 7 - Get a Tan

In Scotland this might be wishful thinking but hey we can live in hope!
