While your current fitness regime might consist of indoor gyms, yoga studios, or your own living room, it’s never a bad idea to head outside to break up a sweat. We aren’t just talking about your usual jog around the block, there are more ways to break a sweat outside.

Before going outside make sure you have a location in mind, you have checked the weather, bring water and snacks with you, and pick varied terrains each time or even bring a friend with you!

Outdoor activities that also work your muscles include swimming in a pool or the ocean, hiking, biking, playing a sport outdoors like soccer or basketball. All of these are a great way to apply your fitness outside of your usual gym or yoga studio.

Make sure to apply your fitness outside of the gym instead of only in the gym.
