Outdoor workouts: combining sport and health

2019-06-26

Workouts have won over sports-lovers. Good for your health, this sporting activity helps to reduce stress or lose weight.

Working out also reduces cholesterol and slows ageing. Workouts are now leaving the gym and getting outside, with equipment specially designed for this activity.


What are outdoor workouts?


Outdoor workouts are most often done in parks, on fitness equipment. Alone or in groups, everyone can develop at their own pace, focusing on exercises that correspond to their goals.

Husson has designed and produced “Out & Fit” equipment, which allows the user to perform different exercises.
With free access, these facilities allow sports-lovers to enjoy a peaceful environment while engaging in physical activity. The benefit is twofold.

Outdoor workouts: a healthy mind


Working out reduces physical and mental stress.
When working out outdoors, the body releases endorphins, a powerful well-being hormone. To feel the benefits, it is advisable to work out for at least one hour, three times a week.

Working out outside on adapted fitness equipment from the Out & Fit range enhances the feeling of well-being. What could be more peaceful than being able to work out while enjoying nature?

Another advantage: working out promotes sleep. It facilitates the depth and duration of sleep, which allows for more restorative nights. To feel these effects, it is advisable not to engage in sporting activities just before going to bed. So choose the late afternoon or morning to visit a fitness area.

Outdoor workouts: a healthy body


Just like indoor workouts, outdoor workouts are a very cardiovascular sporting activity.
By exercising on a range of Out & Fit equipment, you strengthen your muscles and arteries, but also your bones. Your body is therefore in good health, and better able to fight illness. This discipline also helps reduce cholesterol.
By working your heart, it helps to dislodge cholesterol in the arteries.

Regular outdoor workouts also stimulate blood circulation, which helps cells to regenerate themselves, and thus reduces skin ageing.

As an added bonus, this activity helps to build social bonds. You are not training on the equipment alone. A moment to build bonds between sports-lovers.

So, what are you waiting for to visit an Out & Fit area?
