"Benefits of Outdoor Workouts for Your Health"

Research suggests that exercising outdoors can magnify its benefits for health, happiness, fitness, and motivation. A new study finds that a short, leafy stroll improves working memory and concentration substantially more than completing the same brief walk inside. Nature provides "soft fascination," which holds our attention without demanding constant intellectual processing, allowing our overtaxed attention to reset, and afterward, we can concentrate and reason more readily. Even when exercise is strenuous, it can feel ineffably easier and more enjoyable when the surroundings are glorious. However, exercising in urbanized outdoor settings tends to be less beneficial for people's mental health than similar exercise in greener, untrammeled environments, like parks and forests.
