I hope you’ve been enjoying the Weather.
Almost feels like being abroad!!
Today I wanted to touch upon training outdoors…………..
You’re probably thinking “what difference does it make training outside?!”
Well……..Have you tried it? 🙂
Why is training outdoor better than a gym with expensive machines, and multiple T.V’s ?
Because these things are distracting.
You should have total focus when you train – on what you need to accomplish….in a gym, a bootcamp or at home. (For a list of equipment and books I recommend – CLICK HERE!!!)
Or had you forgotten that there is a goal to your training sessions 😉
Aside from the added focus, heres a list of the other added benefits you get from training outside.
- Fresh air!
- Increased Vitamin D production from sunlight
- Real-life work. If you have to carry weight from A to B – its ALL YOU………no machines saying you ‘might have burned 200kcals (If you are a person of average weight and these calculations can be grossly inaccurate)
- Increased sense of well-being
- More time away from possibly toxic indoor atmosphere (think paint, plastics, ) You hear reports about mobile phones, cabinets, car interiors leeching out toxic fumes……….whether you believe in it or not – why leave it to chance. You probably spend a lot of time at your computer at work or at home anyway and that can’t be good for you.
- Variety. When was the last time you did something different?!!!
Not a lot of people know that I often train clients outdoors, and love to do it. Why not try this down at your nearest park?
1a) Press ups x 10 (modified to your fitness level)
1b) Lunges x 10 each leg
1c) Sprint 50 yards
Rest 1-2 mins and repeat.
