Being fit and healthy is associated with entering a gym, although new trends endorsed by specialists indicate that outdoor activities are not only more beneficial, but increasingly are practiced more frequently.

Tangona, author of the book "Excuses do not fatten", affirms why it is healthier to train in the open air: "The body generates endorphins that work on anguish, depression, anxiety and panic attacks, which are the diseases of The aim is to release cortisol, which is the stress hormone, which is why people run away to the gym and bet on nature."

There are several fitness disciplines that can be developed in a green space. Then, the alternatives for you to take into account and you can choose the one indicated for you.

Walk in rollers: You only need a companion or a teacher, a smooth surface and protection (knee and helmet). Roller oxygenates you, puts you in a good mood and, in addition, is an activity that tones the muscles of the legs and buttocks. The contact with nature and the burning of calories are assured.

Work with weights: The main objective of this training is focused on burning fat, through high intensity exercises. "It modifies and stabilizes the metabolic values of cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes and triglycerides," says Tangona.

Dance classes: It is an activity that increasingly attracts many followers, because it combines fitness and dance, relaxes and entertains, and represents a quality aerobic activity. One of the dances that sets the trend with the beginning of spring is the zumba, which has Latin American rhythms and combines easy to learn choreography.

Boot Camp: If you like the demand, military training, intensity and being exhausted, this activity is for you. It is not a discipline for anyone; it takes motivation and perseverance to get results. These are military-type outdoor exercises, which include sit-ups, squats, push-ups and aerobic endurance.

Rowing: It is an excellent alternative if you have a lake or river nearby. Although it is a time-consuming activity, it is usually done on weekends. Rowing is one of the most complete sports, since it works arms, legs, chest, back, abs and even the mind, through a coordinated movement. To make matters worse, the harmony of exercise has benefits to relieve stress and generate general well-being.

Finally, the personal trainer says that "people also have the option to swim, walk and ride a bike, the important thing is that they choose an activity that they like, you have to work from the inside out."
