About

Exercise is a brilliant thing. We all know it is good for our health. It protects our bones and strengthens our muscles. It keeps our heart and lungs healthy. Exercise is a great hobby and a wonderful way to meet people. It can boost our mood and even help reduce stress. But did you know that exercising in the great outdoors can compound these benefits?

When I decided to set up my fitness business the one thing I knew for certain was that I wanted it to be outside and here are some of the reasons why:

Improving mental well being:

Being outside has a positive affect on your mood. Simply being in nature can reduce stress and anxiety and increase well being. Working out outside in all weather will also build your grit and resilience. Combine this with the natural endorphins released when we exercise and you’re on to a winner.

Vitamin D:

Being outside boosts your exposure to vitamin D, especially between March and September. Vitamin D assists your immune system, promotes bone growth and helps prevent osteoporosis and can even fight depression. Enough said.

I love the great outdoors:

It’s fun being outside. Whether it’s dodging the puddles, wildlife spotting or listening to the birds whilst you stretch, no session will ever be the same. It’s exciting thinking of interesting ways to incorporate steps and walls and hills into a workout and ultimately makes sessions full of variety! A winner for your body and your mind.
