A Good Workout Without Weights Where Ever You Are

I ran across a pretty good article in The Scotsman when doing some research on Body Weight Exercises. Many of us instinctively understand that exercising outside in the fresh air (versus conditioned air), sunlight and other natural elements is better for us. This particular article suggest that research has found it that it's a no brainer also. While you can still lift weights in the open air, it may be difficult for some who do not own a decent weight set to do so. Body Weight Exercises offer a good alternative to the gym and can be a good workout without weights in what ever situation you may find yourself.

But ditching the gym in favour of the great outdoors is not just about the feel-good factor. The majority of us exercise because we want to get fit, in body as much as in soul. For MacGregor, the physical benefits to exercising outdoors are key too. "The fitness rewards for deciding to exercise in the great outdoors are plentiful," he says. "You will lose more weight because your workout will be more challenging. Your balance, agility and coordination will be tested by the challenge of adjusting swiftly to different terrains, inclines and obstacles, which means your muscles will be working harder than they would be if you were to do to a similar indoor workout. With the right ideas and a little motivation, you can find everything you need to help you get the most from your exercise."
