3 reasons to exercise outside

A handy list for those who are not yet convinced.

1. Exercising outside is good for your mood
Exercising outside makes you happier than exercising inside, a 2012 study by Glasgow University showed. Okay, when you start exercising outside for the first time, you will have to get used to it, but after that you don't want to do anything else.

2. Exercising outside provides more vitamin D
When you exercise during the day, you catch some sun rays. You can use that especially when the days get shorter. Vitamin D is important for your immune system and your muscles and bones.

3. The fresh air is good for your focus
The fresh air keeps you more focused than in a stuffy gym. Give it a try and you will soon discover the effect of the fresh air on your training.
