Have You Done It Outside Yet?

Do you find going to the gym a struggle and tedious? Your not alone, many people struggle with boredom and a lack of motivation when going to the gym doing the same exercises, day after day, in an uncomfortable, sometime no air conditioning and windowless gym.

This is why the majority of my PT clients and bootcamp classes are taken outside. We live in a great place to make use of local parks, fields, Forests, hills, beaches and transforming them into your gym space, meaning every training session can be different. All you need is a bit of imagination.

What are the benefits of training outside?

1. Fresh air makes for a better experience: All you gym users will know that sometimes the air that you breathe feels unpleasant. Contrast this with outdoor training, where in most cases the air will feel fresher and more pleasant.
2. Training outside has health benefits: Training outside isn't just a lot of fun, it's good for your health too. It increases extra exposure to the sunlight that supplies the body with vitamin D. Study's have also shown that it burns more calories and produces higher levels of post-exercise endorphins.
3. You can do it anywhere and at anytime: You can't have the excuse that you don't have the time to get to exercise, incorporate it in your everyday life. Walking or riding your bike to work, taking a walk and getting some fresh air at lunchtime, walking the dog etc. 
4. Get Gardening: Fed up with running and cycling? Swap your trainers for wellies instead - you could find that you shed pounds just as easy. 
5. It adds some variety and fun: when you initially think about exercising outside you think about going for a run or bike ride, which is great but don't forget exercise can be anything that gets your heart rate elevated, so why not try a game of frisbee in the park or beach, tree climbing, swimming in the sea, or just some bodyweight training but outside.
6. Your more likely to stick with it: If you enjoy doing something then you are more likely to adhere to it and therefore more likely to see the results that you want.

As I said at the top the options are endless when it comes to exercising outside. All you need is a bit of imagination and anything is possible. 

So with Spring just round the corner why not get outside and experience the amazing place that we live on the Isle of Wight and make exercise fun and enjoyable.
