There are many benefits of performing your cardio work outdoors. The pleasant weather, fresh air, numerous exercise options, and exhilarating scenery to name a few. Cardio is the perfect complement for weight training. Sort of like a ying and yang. Two very different ways of training, almost opposite by nature, but both contribute the whole health of the person.
I always look forward to the “adventure” of outdoor cardio especially bike riding. You never know where the wind will take you that particular day. To experience all of the sensations of a bike ride really has its benefits when compared to weight training which is often done in the same environment day in and day out. That is why it is so important to break up your weight training routine with other fitness activities. The uniformity of it can lead to staleness and result in lack of progress. So keep your fitness attitude fresh with a well-rounded routine of weight training and cardio. Have a great summer and make sure you take advantage of all the outdoor exercise possibilities!
