After months of working out from the comfort of our homes, the weather is finally getting good enough for training in the fresh air. If you’re looking forward to getting back to outdoor workouts, but aren’t sure how to make a switch, these three useful tips will get you there.
Take It Easy
Outdoor workouts come with a long list of benefits, but they will also have you facing obstacles that you don’t have to deal with at home. It will take some time to adjust to this change of pace, and you shouldn’t put too much pressure on yourself in the beginning.
Baby Steps
Speaking of taking it easy, there’s no need to fully switch to outdoor workouts right away. Take baby steps and ease into a new routine over time. Start with one outdoor workout a week and add more fresh-air workouts into your schedule as the time goes by.
Safety First
Running or cycling outdoors can be scary and it’s important to put extra effort into staying safe. Make sure you’re wearing reflective clothing to increase your visibility, and know what’s waiting for you on your outdoor route to avoid unexpected surprises.
