jogExercising in the gym is practical. By visiting a single place, you can perform various types of exercises. Of cardio exercise, strength training, up to a wide selection of group exercise.

However, there are times when cardio training is done by using a treadmill, elliptical machine, or stepper, can be very boring. Because, you do the same movement in a confined space (at most, only accompanied by a TV screen). Therefore, if you do not just want to increase energy levels, but also improve your mood, you should not workout at the gym.

According to a recent study, walking or running in open space would be better for the body and mind. Those who burn calories by jogging in the park will also feel happier than those who exercise at the gym. You will also feel more energetic, even easier to concentrate at work.

This advantage can be obtained, because when in the open, we are surrounded by nature that encourages the mind to relax. Feelings managed to escape from the routine also helps fight a bad mood.

Outdoor exercise are also better at reducing anger, fatigue, and sadness, rather than exercise indoors. However, no evidence that outdoor exercise will promote a better immune system, and normal blood pressure.
