7 Outdoor Workouts That Bring Joy

13 May 2022|Training

Now that the days are getting warmer, we can spend a lot more time outdoors. Exercising outside not only makes you happier but is also super healthy. Keep reading to find out why and which outdoor sports are the best.

Benefits of outdoor workouts

Moving your body is crucial for your health, and doing it in nature amplifies those benefits. Fresh outdoor air boosts your energy and triggers the release of feel-good endorphins. It helps reduce stress; those chirping birds actually calm your nervous system (seriously!), and the sun loads you up with vitamin D. Add all these advantages together, and you'll understand why we're huge fans of outdoor exercise.

You might not have much experience with exercising outdoors. That's why we're here to suggest the most fun outdoor workouts:

1. Bootcamping

No more shivering between squats, so no excuse not to go for a bootcamp session. Bootcamping is the perfect sport to build up your stamina and strength. Gather your squad and get going in your favorite park or at the beach.

Healthy snack

Great for on the go, at work, and always in the snack drawer. The Orangefit Protein Bar is the perfect healthy snack. Give it a try yourself!

2. Rollerblading

Roller skating is usually done over short distances, but when you're rollerblading, you can cover quite a few kilometers. It's enjoyable to do alone or with others, and it's a great workout for your core, buttocks, and legs. Now, all that's left is to learn how to brake!

3. Swimming

Do you live near a lake? Go for a swim! All you need is swimwear, and with a bit of luck, you can dry off in the sun right there. It's especially great if you're swimming in natural water.

4. Forest Bathing

The Japanese turn everything into an art form, including spending time in the woods. They call it 'forest bathing,' and more and more people are adopting this healthy habit. The difference from just walking in the forest lies in the meditative aspect. You try to fully absorb everything around you, and that creates a relaxing sensation.

5. Supping

For board sports enthusiasts: SUPing is stand-up paddling and you can do it even in places where there's no wave in sight. Try SUPing in the canals, or in a beautiful natural area.

6. Mountain Biking

Many forests have dedicated trails for mountain bikers. Cycling is an ideal sport to build or maintain your fitness level while exploring the nature around you. Highly recommended!

7. Survival Training

Tough ones can check if there are survival training sessions offered in the area. This concept involves a wilderness obstacle course where daredevils face real challenges: rope climbing, balancing on beams, rock climbing, and hiking. You can take complete courses to learn all aspects of survival!

Hopefully, you've got enough inspiration to get active outdoors. Keep it fun for yourself and enjoy both the activity and the environment. That way, you'll get the most out of it! Oh, and don't forget: ensure good recovery afterward with our plant-based protein shakes.
