15-20 minutes outdoor training a day- that’s all you need to improve your health and wellbeing!

Spending time outdoors boosts your energy, improves your health, whilst performing your exercises out in the fresh air can certainly burn fat.

Daylight affects our immunity, appetite, mood, energy and helps kick-start the body processes that keep us awake and alert through the day.

Choose your time of the day to do your exercises BUT remember that in the evening natural light becomes less blue and more amber.   Why is this relevant? In the evening, your melatonin production picks up and your metabolism slows down - you are more ready for bed than a HIIT session!

All it takes is 15 minutes to start your day on a happy note!

Morning light is extremely powerful - your levels of serotonin, a feel- good neurotransmitter are elevated.

It is the best time to improve your physical and mental health and supercharge your energy.

Not only does the outdoor training provide all the physical benefits of indoor training - 

blood flow, improved cardiovascular system, improved strength, flexibility, endurance)

but also helps with insomnia owing to vital exposure to sunlight that helps to increases important levels of Vitamin D. 

Outdoor training exposes our body’s sensory systems to multitude of natural stimuli. 

Also, daylight may influence our body’s production of appetite hormones - ghrelin and leptin. Which means your metabolism receives help to regulate its function and we are more relaxed, calmer and less hungry as the day goes on.

Why not to try a morning walk, run or cycle? Or if you need an extra push maybe find a trainer that runs outdoor sessions? Or if you prefer training in a big group look for outdoor boot camps in your local area.

Remember daylight is your friend all year around not only during the summer days.
