Most certified fitness instructor believes that outdoor workouts are the best way to go. If you are suffering from a specific health condition or just trying to improve your fitness, you can get out with little or no equipment and get a quality sweat session. All this, amid plenty of fresh air and under the shining sun!
Our lives are bound by our desks now, stooped over our laptops and phones. We don’t get enough exercise or movement. This is giving rise to many lifestyle diseases and vitamin deficiencies. A case in point here is vitamin D deficiency, a result of not getting enough sun.
Fresh air and sunshine are the answer to many health conditions and even mental conditions. So, now is the time to ditch our couch and the four walls of our room to go out and get our workout done, right in the open. There are a bunch of benefits to explore here. Here are some of them.
Exercising Outdoors Acts as a Natural Antidepressant
Outdoor exercise is the best way to prevent seasonal affective disorder (SAD), depression, and anxiety. This is mainly because sunshine helps release a hormone, serotonin, that affects your mood. And with exercise releasing endorphins, another feel-good hormone, those twin hormones go a long way in improving our mood and reduces pain.
It Offers Extra Challenge to the Body
 Exercising outside your home can offer an extra challenge to the body. When you exercise on ever-changing outdoor terrain, your body is subjected to more challenges and offers more of a challenge than a flat indoor surface.

Does Not Seem Like a Chore
Running on a treadmill or an indoor cycle, or an elliptical may sound or seem tedious after a while. That is why you need to venture out so as not to label your workouts like a chore.
Your workouts are fun, and you need to squeeze the maximum out of them. The only way you are going to do that is if you have fun out of it.
Offers Mental Relief
Many people let out a lot of steam while working out. They also lose weight and lower their blood pressure. They also combat mental fatigue, depression, and anxiety thanks to the feel-good hormones.
You’ll immediately feel better doing the same exercises outside your home than doing them inside. It improves your breathing prowess as you inhale clean air outside. There is a sense of freedom from the clutches of work, stress, and worry. You feel rejuvenated in the real sense of the word.
An Excuse to Enjoy a Social Outing
 Exercise becomes less of a chore and more of a fun activity when you do it with your family and friends. Instead of meeting a friend over lunch or coffee, you can instead meet over a walking date or jogging date.

You can also make your family go out to make walking a habit, instead of spending long hours before the television sets.
It’s a Motivating Activity
 If you are looking for motivation, doing group workouts is just the thing you need. When you want to give up, you may get the extra push from your fellow workout partners. This is the inspiration that will push you to complete that difficult last rep.

In a group exercise class, you also don’t have to worry about being the first or better. Yes, there always will be someone who will be better at you in class.
Use that as motivation. When you watch someone lifting heavier weights or sprinting faster, use it to inspire yourself to do better.
Lends a Feeling of Community
Join a fit family as it may help you feel you belong to the fitness community. When you are part of a community, you may find support and guidance from following the same fitness path. Whether you want to strive better in your fitness journey, you will also find someone who will help you push the boundaries. Even if you fail and do not perfect a certain exercise move, your encouraging fellow workout partners will help you find your resilient streak and do better.
