Why you should be doing your cardio outdoors!!!!!

So I am going to give you my personal take on why I believe doing your cardio outdoors is the way to go. Now I want to start off by saying that cardio indoors is better than no cardio at all, but if you have the option to do it outdoors, than by all means do it!!!

Lets be honest, cardio in a climate controlled environment is much easier. You don’t have to deal with the elements of the heat, cold or wind and that in and of itself will lead to a stronger mind. And as bodybuilders, this game is all a power of the mind. There is no ac when its hot out, there is no heater when its cold and there is nothing protecting you against the wind. It is just you vs you and that’s how I like it.

Now the second part to the equation is the mental benefits and emotional benefits that being outside gives you. There have been many studies showing just how much of an impact that the outdoors plays on both our mood and how we feel about ourselves. Being out in nature, being present, smelling the world, hearing the birds and just being outside has such a calming effect, that it is pretty hard to feel down once we get back. Seeing others out being active has a very positive impact on our mood, and the more we can be around positive things the better we will feel on a day to day basis.

Again, I will always say that any cardio is better than none, but I just wanted to give my take on why I think that outdoors is the way to go if you have the option. I am here to have the best quality of life possible and I know that outdoor cardio will accomplish just that. This type of cardio will enhance your life in and out of the gym!!

BEYOND JUST BODYBUILDING!!!!!
