Title: 10 Outdoor Exercises That’ll Crush Your Gym Workout


1
10 Outdoor Exercises That Are More Effective
Than You Think
2
Tennis
  • Tennis is a serious calorie-burner, and calls for
    repeated bouts of high intensity activity. Tennis
    also tones the arms, shoulders and back. Tennis
    burns about 270 calories and improves speed,
    co-ordination, and balance.

3
In-line skating/ Rollerblading
  • If youre after a Brazilian butt, rollerblading/
    in-line skating is your workout of choice.
    Rollerblading targets the butt muscles, back of
    thighs and inner thighs, to firm, tone and
    tighten, all the while burning a mass of
    calories. At a brisk pace you can burn about 250
    calories.

4
Cycling/ Biking
  • Biking is a simple, fun and effective way to get
    a great workout. Cycling outdoors also works the
    glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, shins and calves
    harder than indoor cycling. Pedal off the pounds
    by burning about 240 calories, and even more
    mountain biking.

5
Hiking
  • Another great combination of strength-building
    and cardiovascular exercise, hiking can burn
    nearly as many calories as jogging. Hiking works
    the butt, legs and abs, as well as building
    cardiovascular endurance. Hiking can burn about
    220 calories.

6
Swimming
  • Swimming can be much more than just refreshing
    and fun, it can also make for an incredible
    full-body cardiovascular workout that works all
    the major muscle groups. Swimming can help to
    tone, strengthen, and condition the body without
    the jarring effects of other activities. Swimming
    can burn about 270 calories.

7
Beach volleyball
  • Beach volley makes for an awesome full body
    workout that targets and tones the legs, arms,
    shoulders and abs. Beach volleyball burns about
    290 calories, which is basically equal to that of
    running at 5 mph.

8
Kayaking/ Rowing
  • Rowing and kayaking make for challenging
    cardiovascular workouts. Rowing and kayaking work
    the arms, shoulders, back and core muscles.
    Kayaking and rowing burn about 250 calories.

9
Snorkeling/ Scuba Diving
  • Snorkeling and scuba diving offer the benefits of
    cardiovascular exercise, minus the strain, sweat,
    stress, and discomfort of a typical workout. This
    activity will burn a ton of calories while
    tightening and toning the body. Snorkeling burns
    about 170 calories per 30 minutes, while scuba
    diving can burn up to 400 calories!

10
Running/ Jogging
  • It will burn more calories and challenge your
    muscles more. You can increase the difficulty of
    your run by planning a route that incorporates
    flat, uphill, and downhill terrain to stimulate
    as many muscles as possible. Running burns about
    290 calories at a pace of 5 mph .

11
Walking
  • If youre not a runner or dont want to be a
    runner, walking is an excellent way of squeezing
    in some exercise. You can make walking your main
    workout or just consider walking a bonus. A brisk
    walk burns about 135 calories.

12
Research suggests that exercising outdoors is
linked with good things such as greater vitality,
enthusiasm, pleasure, self-esteem, and lower
levels of stress hormone cortisol and less bad
things such as tension, depression, and fatigue.
Importantly, it seems that if you exercise
outside, youre also more likely to exercise
longer If stepping out is not your thing but
you still like running or walking, then get a
manual treadmill, which is also cost-effective as
it comes cheaper consumes no electricity and
less space occupancy.
