There’s no doubt that getting outside in the fresh air is great for clearing the mind and reducing our stress levels. Getting regular exercise outdoors has even greater benefits. Now that the current lockdown restrictions are allowing us to train again outdoors together, there’s no better time to join an outdoor fitness class in Warrington.
Here are five reasons to join an outdoor fitness class in Warrington:
- Exercising outdoors is good for you
Exercising outdoors provides lots of physical benefits of indoor exercise, including blood flow, improved cardiovascular health, improved strength, flexibility, endurance, and it can even help us get a great night’s sleep. After a year of lockdown restrictions, we all need to increase our heartrate and build up our mental and physical resilience again.
- Our daily dose of Vitamin D
Vitamin D is essential for better health, immunity and mood, yet between the months of October and March when the days are shorter, we get less of it. Outdoor exercise is a great way to increase our daily dose of vitamin D through sunlight.
Now that the clocks have sprung forward, let’s take advantage of the lighter mornings and evenings at an outdoor fitness class.
- Increases our serotonin
Outdoor exercise naturally increases our serotonin, a hormone that affects our mood. And let’s face it, we all need this right now after months of being stuck at home. By exercising outdoors, you are naturally producing endorphins, another feel-good hormone that boosts your mood.
- Exercising outdoors is great fun
If the thought of joining a gym is unmotivating, then exercising outdoors can really pass the time and make exercise feel fun. You won’t be clock watching or feeling like you want to skip a class (yes, even when it rains) because you’ll be reaching your fitness goals and seeing great results in no time.
- You’ll make great friends
Going to the gym is not just about fitness, it’s also a great place to socialise too. Ultimate Fitness Cheshire is a hub of social activity and we can guarantee you’ll make new friends and feel at home. After a year of social restrictions, we all need to get out and socialise again – and doing so whilst getting fit means even greater gains.
