Outdoors Fitness In London

There is also a strong correlation between the emotional journey we go on whilst exercising in a green space and our physical wellbeing. Even in the winter months when it's challenging to embrace the cold, the physical benefits from exercising outdoors when temperatures drop are greater than in the heat, as our bodies tolerate activity better in the cold and we can exercise for longer and burn more fat. It is now thought that exercising outside can burn up to 30% more calories than indoors due to battling against the weather and uneven terrain. Running outside also uses more energy as the lack of air resistance makes it less of an effort to run indoors on a treadmill.

It's good to carry personal bottles of water to stay hydrated during the sessions. Hydration is important both in summer and winter because the exercises can cause sweatiness. It is also important to eat balanced diets after the exercises to rebuild and rejuvenate the body. A snack, fruit such as banana or apple can help speed up recovery.
