“Many studies support that the physical, emotional and intellectual benefits of your work-out, from yoga to a brisk walk or are increased when performed outdoors”, says Tracey Welsh, General Manager of Red Mountain Resort, in St. George, Utah.
“The exposure to sunshine boosts Vitamin D, important to bone health, metabolism and mood boosting endorphins”, says Welsh. “The key to a lasting and successful resolution may be finding the optimal outdoor location. A beautiful setting in nature not only allows you to receive the cardio benefit from your work-outs, but you also gain the benefits of unplugging from technology as you drink in what Mother Nature has created”.
