GO OUTSIDE!!!
Simply taking your running routine out of the gym ups calorie burn by about 5 percent, thanks to wind and varied terrain.
And fluctuating outdoor temps further increase the number of calories you torch by about 7 percent because your body has to work to keep your thermostat dialed in to 98.6 degrees.
Not convinced? In 2007, researchers in England found that outdoor workouts are nature's Zoloft. When they compared the mental benefits of a 30-minute walk in the park with an indoor jaunt, 71 percent of the subjects who took it outside said they felt less tense afterward, while 72 percent of the indoor crew felt even more stressed.
A harder body and a brighter outlook? That's enough to make us ditch the fluorescents for the sun
Hopefully you all have some nice weather to look forward to this weekend! I am planning on going on another hike this weekend, heading out to the Shenandoah, to possibly take on Old Rag once again!
Happy Weekend!
