With the return of spring and the longer days, now is a great time to connect with nature and take your exercise outside.. A growing body of research supports the benefits of participating in a “green exercise routine” and the importance of spending time outdoors.
A recent Danish survey found that access to and from “green areas” was associated with lower stress and reduced likelihood of obesity. It makes sense to assume that living in a environment that encourages outdoor fitness activities such as walking and biking can be a great motivator to live a more healthful lifestyle.

The coming season is definitely best for reconnecting with nature and greening your fitness. It is one of my favorite seasons being in Ohio. Winter snow makes it kind of tuff to ride the bike to work.
