]]> Who says staying active means being confined to the four walls of a gym? If you’re looking to break free from the monotonous workout routine, we’ve got you covered! Whether you prefer the great outdoors or want to try something new, these activities will make staying fit an enjoyable adventure, instead of just the same old gym routine.

Trail Running

Trail running offers a refreshing change of scenery while challenging your fitness. Explore local parks, forests, or nature reserves and let the uneven terrain and breathtaking views invigorate your senses. With each step, you’ll engage different muscles and boost your endurance.

Dancing

Who says exercise can’t be a dance party? Shake off the stress and dance your heart out! Sign up for a dance class or simply groove to your favorite tunes at home. From hip-hop to salsa, ballet to Zumba, there’s a dance style for everyone. Not only does dancing improve cardiovascular health and flexibility, but it also lifts your spirits and allows you to express yourself through movement.

Paddleboarding

Take your fitness routine to new horizons by getting on a paddleboard. Whether on a lake, river, or even the ocean, paddleboarding provides a full-body workout that’s both exhilarating and calming. Engage your core, arms, and legs as you balance on the board and paddle through the water.

]]> Working out is essential for cultivating mental and physical health, but did you know that where you work out can be just as important as the exercise you do? While there are certainly perks to exercising in any location, taking your workouts outside can bring a few unexpected benefits you may not find inside a gym. By incorporating fresh air and sunshine into your workout routine, you can improve your overall wellbeing and develop a more complete perspective on your fitness journey. Read on to learn more about the benefits of working out in nature and some tips for how to do it.

Boost your mood

Time in nature has been scientifically proven to have a profoundly positive effect on mood and mental health. Fresh air and sunshine can help to reduce stress and anxiety by increasing our bodies’ oxygen levels and triggering the release of serotonin in our brains. Try taking a brisk walk in your local park, hiking a local trail, or joining an outdoor yoga class.

Build community

Exercising outside is a great way to connect with the natural world, but it can also help you connect with others. You’re more likely to meet people and strike up conversations in public spaces than you are working out at home. Join a community gardening group, or see if there are group classes in any parks near you.

Burn more calories

Working out in nature can be more challenging than exercising indoors, which can help you burn more calories. Plus, the changing terrain can provide a more varied and interesting workout than machines such as treadmills and ellipticals. Trail running, rock climbing, and beach volleyball are great options that can really help to up the calorie burn.

]]> Trail running is a fun activity with a long list of benefits, but it can be pretty unpredictable—especially in the fall. If you’re thinking of heading to the mountains for a run in the next few weeks, here are a couple of safety guidelines you should keep in mind.

Check the Weather

Trail running is popular in early fall when temperatures are still mild, but you should check the weather forecast before each run. In addition to making it more difficult to run, the rain will make the trails wet and slippery, putting you at risk of falls and injuries.

Watch Your Step

Even if it’s not raining outside, it’s still important to watch your step during your runs. Trails will be covered with fallen leaves, with rocks, holes, and roots hidden underneath. You could trip at any point if you’re not being extra careful and paying close attention to your foot placement.

Pick the Right Clothing

Hunting season usually kicks off in the fall. If hunting is common in your area, make sure to stay safe by wearing brightly colored clothing. You should also remember to dress in layers because temperatures tend to change quickly once the fall arrives.
