Experts have established a long time ago that spending time in nature is beneficial for health. Meanwhile, exercise improves physical and mental well-being. According to Debbie Rhea, a professor from Texas Christian University, adults need to combine these two activities to stay healthy.
So, how do you get started with an outdoor routine? Connie Sciolino, a gym owner, advised starting with activities you enjoy. She said people should do progressively longer walks or bike rides. Then, slowly make it difficult to get stronger. However, Rhea warned against doing sports without proper preparation because it may cause injury.
What are the other tips for exercising outdoors? There’s no need for people to buy expensive equipment to exercise outdoors. In the United States, the National Recreation and Park Association said some parks have outdoor exercise equipment. Most of these parks also offer free group exercise classes. And in case of bad weather, trainer Katie Higginbotham suggested having a contingency plan. For example, you should exercise at a place where there are trees to help protect you from too much rain. She also said having a regular exercise partner helps.
