It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood….now get outside!!

The weather around here has been an absolute delight! Has Spring already sprung? The days are getting longer and the sun is shining. It’s a great time to change up your workout, and take it outside.

Fitness and the fresh air go great together. I’m convinced that the colour green has a calming effect on the soul. AND not just that, but the scenery distracts you so you forget how hard you are working.

There are many advantages for exercising in the great outdoors, including increased Vitamin D (from sunshine), you don’t need any equipment, there is no commuting, plus you have the ability to exercise at any time. AND..there are no monthly fees!

Depending on your resources, there are a number of outdoor exercises that can improve muscle and cardiovascular fitness such as push-ups, pull-ups, jogging, squats, lunges, step ups, sprints, and walking. And there are perks to working out on uneven surfaces as well. (Such as hills, fields, and trails)
