Feeling sluggish? Jogging in the snow is no fun, but as temps rise there's no reason you can't ditch the gym in favor of an outdoor workout instead. If you need some incentive, consider that research has shown that breaking a sweat outdoors may be more beneficial than burning calories inside. According to a 2011 study published in Environmental Science and Technology, exercising in a natural environment outdoors may improve energy levels and decrease stress more than working out indoors.
I deeply respect ancient chinese culture, there is so much wisdom to learn. Very informative and helpful blog. I have been trying to lose weight due to PCOS and western medicine was not helpful at all in masking my symptoms. Chinese medicine is treating the actual root of the problem, rather than masking the symptoms. I already see some improvements in my condition from TCM herbal formulas. My next step is to try accupuncture.
Turns out there's a big advantage to exercising in the open air instead of the gym. A British research team analyzed data from studies involving 833 people. Their study, published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, found that those who exercised outside were less stressed and depressed and enjoyed exercising so much they were far more likely to keep it up than those who did their workouts inside. Of course, the more you exercise, the more calories you burn. The boost in mental health also offers a weight loss bonus: You're less prone to emotional eating.
