For some people, exercising is not the most fun way to spend their time. Adding a activity to our already busy daily routine, and reduce or cut bad habits that have been in our lives for years, is not an easy thing to do.
But, we all know the benefits that bring to our life a healthy exercise routine. Besides, once you get used to training yourself, you start to feel the results in your body and in your mood.
Getting inside a gym, at least for me, is very tedious and boring. I would rather be outside enjoying the outdoor than expending my training hours inside a dark and noisy place. Actually, being outside in direct contact with nature becomes an incentive to go out and move the skeleton. These 5 outdoor activities with help you, in a very fun way, to be fit and fire up your day.
Cycling
There are millions of people starting this discipline every day. It is very exciting and challenging getting on the road with your bike. However, be sure to get a proper bike to avoid injuries and accidents. Also, protect your head and know the traffic rules for a safer experience.
Running
You will only need a good pair of shoes and the willingness to feel great to start running. Plan a route, start with short running intervals, take the appropriate time to recover, and stretch well before and after.
Yoga
Practicing yoga brings great benefits to your body and soul. It improves your body flexibility and posture, improves your immunity, increases your energy, and is a great way to reduce stress in your daily life. Always start practicing yoga with a proper instructor.
Hiking
This is one of my favorite activities I’ve ever done. The direct contact with nature, enjoying the views, is very motivating and relaxing. I recommend joining a club or group to hike with. Is the safest way to start this discipline. Don’t forget to carry enough water, sun protection, map, compass and nutritive snacks.
Swimming
Being in the water, either a pool or the sea is always a good experience for body and soul. Swimming is a very complete exercise when you do it properly.
Despite the activity you choose, remember that everything is about taking care of your self. Treat you well, enjoy your body and be present.
If you are starting to practice any of these exercises, I would recommend you to go to the doctor first and check that you are in good conditions and which activity he or she recommends you.
