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!
