Exercising in the great outdoors causes an increase in self-esteem, a better mood, and reduction of blood pressure and anxiety. However, you can still get the benefits of an open air workout when you’re stuck inside.
You already know that getting to the gym or doing some physical activity can bring a long list of health benefits. It’s linked to better moods, less stress and anxiety, improved self-esteem, better sleep, and just feeling better overall.
Likewise, having access to green space has been shown to improve longevity, heart health, general health, mental health, sleep patterns, and recovery from illness. Just coming into contact with the earth’s surface in a practice called grounding or earthing triggers beneficial physiologic changes in the body. And exposure to sunshine kills pain, burns fat, and boosts energy among many other amazing benefits.
