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!
