Exercise & Be Outdoors
The outdoors has so many mind & body benefits:
90% of our Vitamin D comes from sunlight
Studies prove that being outdoors leads to less anxiety and a more positive mood
Appreciating nature and being mindful reduces stress levels
Exercising on an uneven surface strengthens your ankles and works your core
It makes your brain work as it concentrates on uneven surfaces, obstacles & weather
Weather, such as wind, and the cold make you burn more calories
There are lots of distractions outdoors taking your mind off a challenging workout
Studies show that 20 minutes outdoors can energise your brain, comparable to a cup of coffee
Breathing phytoncides (plant produced airborne chemicals) helps fight off infections & diseases
Helps avoid SAD
Its so happy, beautiful and can be social
