Get Your Green Fitness On

We’re almost at the end of our month of Easy Eco Ideas so for today I’d like to suggest going outside more. Instead of working out in a gym in your house go outside to do it, enjoy all that green that we’re trying to protect!

When you walk into a gym your hit with the cool air from the A/C and probably many fans as well, then there are all the machines and the t.v.s that are plugged in. That’s one big carbon footprint.

While doing videos at home is much better than being in the gym why not take it a step further and go out in your backyard or patio? Take the moves you’ve learned from videos and put your own routine together that can be done outside, or simply go for a walk, run or bike ride.

Another thing you can do is find outdoor activities that are fun as well as being a workout like, gardening, horseback riding or swimming. Find a national park near you and go for a hike or better yet, get a group of friends together and go out.

There’s just something exhilarating about being outside and breathing that fresh air in while you’re working out.
