Extract from Article – Beat the Chill Factor

‘Don’t let the cold or dark put you off – with a little planning, you can exercise outdoors all year round. Forget about hibernating! We know it’s tempting to retreat indoors for a workout at the first sign of frost. But you can continue al fresco, says Jason Doggett, fitness coach and co-founder of outdoor personal training company Muddy Plimsolls.

“Committing to an outdoor training programme as the weather turns colder, requires discipline and endurance, but you’ll feel immense achievement,” he explains. “Exercising in natural daylight can improve your mood, and research suggests outdoor workouts burn approximately 20 per cent more calories than indoors. Use the layering principle: breathable base layer, insulation layer for warmth and a windproof and water-repellent outer layer,” adds Doggett.’

Quote from Article – Outdoor Gyms

“You could get an effective workout here, but only if you combined the weights with something a bit more active. … For a lot of people, the only outdoor exercise they can think of is jogging. Running is fine, but it doesn’t work the upper body at all. This offers more variety.”

Quote from Article – Army Bootcamps

“Bootcamps should move away from the ‘no pain, no gain’ mentality towards educating clients. Bootcamps don’t do what I do … I encourage clients to try different styles of exercise in order for them to find a physical regimen they actually enjoy rather than dread.”
