Summer offers the perfect opportunity to switch things up and take your fitness routine outside. The longer days and warmer weather create ideal conditions for outdoor exercise that can transform both your physical fitness and mental wellbeing.
Exercising outdoors during summer months provides natural vitamin D, and the varied terrain of parks, trails, and more challenge your body in ways a gym floor cannot, engaging different muscle groups in more ways than you’d expect. Not to mention, the fresh air also helps to boost your mood enhancing endorphins and reduce stress.
Many find outdoor workouts feel less like exercise and more like play, making fitness more enjoyable, sustainable and social. From pick-up basketball to beach volleyball, group hikes or an outdoor workout class—there are so many great ways to foster connections while staying active.
