Green Exercise

Green exercise is physical activity performed in natural or outdoor environments - parks, trails, waterfronts, and open spaces. The term captures the idea that exercising outdoors combines the benefits of physical activity with those of being in nature.

It is part of why outdoor gyms appeal to so many people: the setting itself is part of the draw. Our article on the benefits of outdoor gym workouts looks more closely at what training outdoors offers.
