Benefits of Exercising Outdoors


Exercising outdoors provides an opportunity to be physically active in a constantly changing environment. Using your local park, running on a nearby trail or simply walking around your neighborhood are all great ways to meet your neighbors. While exercise can enhance your physical health, being connected with your community and having a number of positive relationships can help improve your mental health as well.

Some other benefits include:
  • It's good for your mind and your body.
  • It may make you feel better about yourself.
  • Outdoor fitness may be easier to stick with.
  • You get to soak up the sun.
