Indoor vs outdoor exercising: Which is more productive?

People tend to lean heavily on the gym when it comes to exercise. The gym is just an easy concept: you go and the machines are right there. You get the workout done and you leave. But maybe that’s the problem.

Is it better for your body, health and fitness goals to work out in the open air     1     conditions vary? It depends on so many factors, but the short answer is yes: Science says it is, in fact, better to exercise outdoors.

Take running, for example. In a study     2     (look) at runners who covered the same distance on a treadmill (跑步机) and outdoors, the group that ran inside were said     3     (consume) less energy than the outside group. This is because of terrain changes and wind speed, which you don’t face in the controlled climate of gym. Your body     4     work harder, and thus you burn more calories.

Another consideration that     5     (make) exercising outside tougher, specifically in warmer months, is temperature. In most gyms, the air conditioners are blowing during the open hours to keep a cool and comfortable environment, meaning you’re consuming less energy and sweating less than you would if you were doing the same activity in the great outdoors.

In addition, a systematic study on the effects of physical activity outside in a natural environment versus indoors revealed the fact     6     among people doing the same activity, the outdoor exercises showed “greater feelings of refreshment and positive engagement; decreases in tension, confusion, anger and depression; and     7     (increase) energy” afterward.

    8     many advantages, working outside has its limitations. From changeable weather to safety concerns, it’s not always     9     option. The bottom line? Switch up your workout and get outside as much as you can, but don’t bother about it if the gym is a     10     (practical) choice for you. Doing any workout is amazing for your body and health.
