The benefits of sports in a natural environment for physical and mental health have been proven. You can start with simple exercise to extend the scuffing time and increase strength.

April Herring, who served as an executive at Carroll Community College in northern Maryland, has never been to the gym, but runs, rides, hikes, plays netball, picks and soccer in the natural environment.

Hering said: "Fresh air, sunshine, and trees that change with the seasons have the effect of spiritual development."

Texas Christian University Debbie Rhea, a professor of human sports at University, said that exercising outdoors will make adults healthy and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Leaya said: "We have to go outside and act vigorously, and if we want to be strong, that's important." Connie Sciolino, founder of the Alpine Training Center, a gym dedicated to sportsman Hill Training in Boulder, Colorado, suggested that if you haven't been running for a while, try to recall the movement you liked many years ago and start there.

People who like to hike or ride occasionally can use the time of the above movement to stabilize the oxygen base.

Sioreno said that after 35 to 45 minutes of aerobic exercise, some strength training can be started.

She suggested: "If jogging is the main activity, I will ask the students to go to the sun or do some ladder movements on the pedals, whether it is sprinting or carrying a backpack and running heavily."

However, Lei Ya reminded that when the body is not ready for proper exercise, don't revise the previous movement and strength.

Lei Ya said: "Suppose that people are over 30, 40, or 50 years old, they try running directly. If they are too anxious, they may twist their ankle or cramp their legs, etc.."

Sports instructor said that another great advantage of outdoor sports is that they do not have to spend money to buy expensive equipment.

For example, after aerobic exercise, you can train your muscle strength by using your own weight and the items you can obtain around you. You may stand up in a picnic table or a low wall, then turn your back to the table or wall, and support your body up and down, thereby stretching your three-head muscles.
