I love spring and summer for it will allow us to head outside and trade my elliptical machine for walking trails. Besides the fresh air and better scenery, taking a walk or stroll outside can give your workout a major boost. Research finds that exercisers burn 10% more calories when they walk or run outdoors than they do on a treadmill at the same speed. You use more energy to propel yourself over the ground and pushing a little against the wind or other elements burns more calories, too.
Isn’t that great? That is why I love to take a stroll with my hubby and my little girl here in our neighborhood. It not only makes our family time more enjoyable and more fun, but keeps us fit and healthy as well. Isn’t that cool?
