Women’s Fitness
There are times when exercising indoors is our only option however studies are showing us that the mind/body benefits of alfresco training are a reality…here are a few:
Outdoor Fitness is energizing
- Natural light
- Natural sounds
- Fresh air
- Visually stimulating
- Enhances sensory awareness
- Fresh Aroma
VS.
Indoor Fitness is energy zapping
- Artificial light
- Machine based
- Stale air/aroma
- Piped-in “noise”
- TV
- Germs
Alfresco fitness teaches us to be present:
- Burn up to 12% more calories outdoors
- Increase focus & kinesthetic awareness
- Utilize more muscle fibers
- 3-5X more challenging
- Dynamic, ever-changing state
- Get out of auto-pilot
- Lift your mood and self-esteem
- Clear your mind; stop the “chatter”
So, when you get the chance….
Get out to get fit…get centered!
