With spring right around the corner, one
thing that you should consider doing is taking your workouts outside. Getting some fresh air and doing something
other than the traditional gym workout is a perfect way to add more energy to
your sessions, challenge different muscle groups, and help to stimulate the
mind to a larger extent as well.
The key is to learn which spring activities
will burn the most calories and offer some clear strengthening benefits.
So which should you choose? Let’s go over
five of the top ones to note.
Hiking
Hiking or brisk walking is a great way to
get out doors, perform some lower impact activity and burn plenty of calories
fast. The nice thing about hiking is
that it really doesn’t require much skill at all, so virtually anyone can do
it.
If you don’t live in an area close to
mountains, that’s no problem. Find a hilly trail around where you do live and
make the most of it.
As long as there are some hills involved in
your walk, you’ll be working the main muscles in the lower body and achieving
firming and strengthening benefits.
Soccer
Soccer is the next spring activity to
consider. Soccer is a great group
activity and due to the stop and go nature of it, it’ll be very similar to a
sprint training workout session.
Because of the fact you have the end goal
in mind of reaching the goal post, most people will find it far more motivating
to sprint across the field than when doing typical gym workout sprints.
Plus, the group atmosphere of this exercise
really provides some clear added benefits.
Boot
Camp
If you’re into group fitness in a major
way, consider a boot camp. Now is a
great time to take part in boot camp workouts because the weather won’t be too
uncomfortably hot, so you can exercise in an atmosphere you feel good in.
Boot camp workouts are great for boosting
your cardiovascular fitness level as well as improving your strength also. Plus, they’ll also pinpoint your balance and
agility capabilities as well.
Touch
Football
Touch football is the next group activity to
consider. If you can round up a larger group of people and get a game going on
a Sunday afternoon, this is a perfect way to burn off some added calories and
maintain your body weight.
You’ll be working almost every single
muscle group in the body with this activity, so that will definitely help
provide all over conditioning.
Cycling
Finally, if you want to really enhance your
lower body strength, go for a long bike ride. If you can find hills to climb,
even better.
Cycling is great for those who want a
non-impact activity, but something that will still get your heart rate up.
