3 Outdoor Workouts to Get You Feeling Your Best

We’re now a few weeks away from the end of spring, and summer will be here before you know it. If you have major fitness goals that you want to achieve, there’s no better time to start than now with the beautiful outdoor weather.

Besides eating a balanced diet, one high in lean protein and vegetables, you also need to incorporate the right strength training program to support a healthy routine. Cardio can be a great supplement to your routine, but resistance training should also be a priority.

If you’re looking to lean or tone up your body, strength training will help you build and maintain muscle as you lose bodyfat. It also burns more calories and helps keep your metabolism up, which is what’s needed throughout a fat loss phase.

Many gyms offer both indoor and outdoor spaces which makes it easy to do the workouts that feel best to you. Since summer is around the corner, working out outside can be great for getting your tan on, and getting some extra vitamin D.

Here are a few workouts you can do outside that help burn calories, build muscle, and improve your fitness. If you’re not familiar with an exercise, do a quick search online for a simple tutorial or infographic.
