7 Ways to Work Out Outside
Rock your routine with a little workout. Get yourself up for a rough and tough start and you will definitely be fit as a fiddle all through the year. Here are some ways to workout outside.
1. Go hike
They say, nature is the best teacher. So, go explore nature by going on hiking trails. Hiking not only gives you immense pleasure but also helps you to look deeper within you. With the hectic life that you lead today, you seldom get time to relax and rewind. Hiking allows you to boost your stamina, burn calories and refresh your mind. You can go on a single-day hike, a backpacking camp, bush-walking or trekking and come back absolutely rejuvenated.
2. Swim your way
Put on your favorite swimsuit and gear up for some tough laps. Swimming is said to have the least harsh impact on the human bones than any other form of exercise. It loosens up stiff joints and stretches your muscles. Since swimming is an aerobic exercise, it also strengthens the muscles of the heart. So why not enjoy a hearty swim for a healthy heart?
3. Laugh out loud
Josh Billings, the famous American humorist, was so right when he said, “There ain’t much fun in medicine, but there’s a heck of a lot of medicine in fun!” Since the 1980’s, research has shown that laughter indubitably has a positive impact on our system. 100 laughs a day are equivalent to a 10-minute jog. So step out and laugh out loud a midst nature to optimize pain-relieving and stress-freeing endorphins.
4. Go cycling
Unfortunately, the bike has become the least appreciated means of exercising. However, it’s the best and most inexpensive means. 300-350 calories reduced instantly with just 30-minutes of cycling! Sounds fun and easy, doesn’t it?
