Why exercise is better outside: the benefits of outdoor training
Get out of closed rooms and into nature! Sunlight and exercise in the fresh air not only put you in a good mood, outdoor training also has many other positive aspects. Studies have shown that exercising in the fresh air reduces stress, lowers blood pressure and improves the quality of our sleep. Especially in the warmer seasons, we are drawn to the outdoors and there is a reason for this: we associate brightness and daylight with something positive. That's why we tend to be in a particularly good mood on sunny days, too.
Advantages of outdoor training at a glance

- Our body is better supplied with oxygen
- Nature has a calming effect on us
- Sun rays promote the body's own production of vitamin D
- More space and opportunities for variety
- Physical activity outdoors lowers blood pressure and stress
- Outdoor training in a group strengthens the sense of community
- Muscles are used more intensively on uneven ground
What exercise equipment can I take outside?
It is important that when you buy outdoor exercise equipment, you make sure that it has the following features:
- The equipment should be weatherproof. This means that neither water nor long exposure to sunlight should be able to harm them. In addition, they should be allowed to get dirty from time to time.
- In order to be able to transport your equipment without any problems, you should make sure that they are light and easy to stow away.
- If you want to buy outdoor training equipment, you should definitely pay attention to its multifunctionality, so that you can do several exercises with it at the same time.
- You also don't need a different piece of equipment for each muscle group to sufficiently load your muscles. Outdoor fitness equipment like fitness bands or reaction lights are great for a strenuous full body workout without having to bring multiple pieces of equipment.

They prevent your feet from slipping inside the shoe and provide optimal support even during rapid changes of direction. Here you will find the ultimate grip socks for soccer, jogging or cycling with first-class wearing comfort from the popular brands TapeDesign and Mastersox.
