Embracing the Great Outdoors: Summer Fitness Benefits

As the days grow longer and warmer, why not take your workout routine outside? Exercising outdoors during summer offers numerous benefits to take advantage of!

Vitamin D Boost – sunlight exposure helps your body produce vitamin D, essential for bone health and immune function.
Improved Mood – natural environments can reduce stress and boost mental well-being.
Varied Terrain – Outdoor workouts often incorporate diverse surfaces, challenging your body in new ways.
Free and Accessible – parks, trails, and open spaces are usually cost-free and readily available, same with our outdoor HWX Summer Series classes popping up all over the city!
Social Connections – outdoor fitness classes provide opportunities to meet like-minded individuals in your community.
Enhanced Calorie Burn – studies suggest that exercising outdoors may lead to increased energy expenditure compared to indoor workouts.

For a fun way to get moving outdoors, here’s where to find our HWX Summer Series classes each week:
