Train Outdoors, Train Strong — All Year Long
As we approach the cold winter months and the temperature continues to drop, many outdoor fitness routines will drop. But this doesn’t need to be the case. In fact, exercising outdoors in the wintertime can be one of the best times to train. With the right mindset and the proper outdoor gym equipment, the winter months are the perfect time not only to improve your physical toughness but also to master your mental toughness.
Excuses Don’t Burn Calories — Outdoor Training Does
When it gets cold, most people prefer to stay in bed or near a fireplace and use it as an excuse to skip their exercise. A common thought is that because it’s cold, you won’t sweat, therefore you won’t burn any calories throughout your workout.
This is a false assumption. When your body is in a cold environment, it uses energy to maintain its temperature. This extra energy used burns calories, and exercising in cold weather can actually burn more calories than in warm weather because of the extra energy that is required.
Combine this with outdoor fitness gym equipment that delivers real exercise value through full-body workouts, and winter becomes a time when the hard workers can get ahead of those who choose to stay home.
Outdoor Exercise — The Ultimate Mood Booster
An unavoidable part of winter is the shorter days and less sunlight that come with it. These characteristics can create a gloomy, down attitude even among the happiest campers. Exercise is one of the best ways to counteract these effects and make the most of what winter has to offer. Keeping your workouts outdoors combines the benefits of physical activity with exposure to natural light, boosting serotonin levels and fighting off seasonal depression. An outdoor workout — even just 20 minutes — instantly reduces stress, improves mental clarity, and increases energy for the rest of the day.
Become a Master of Mentality
It is true that training outdoors in the cold is much easier said than done, but that’s what makes the experience so rewarding. Every outdoor winter workout becomes a lesson in self-discipline and self-control. No one improves themselves by remaining in the same place day after day, and the courage to push through discomfort builds confidence and mental resilience that will last long after your workout ends. While others slow down, speed up. Get ahead of the curve and stay on your path to achieve true greatness.
Outdoor Fitness Equipment Built for Every Season
Our park exercise equipment and multigyms are designed for every climate, every time of the year, with no exceptions. Every multigym, cardio climber, and stretching unit is built from heavy-duty welded steel with strictly tamperproof hardware that can’t be removed from the unit. The zinc primer and durable polyester powder-coated finish protect against corrosion, rust, and any weather you can imagine — including snow, hail, and sleet. That means parks, municipalities, and recreational facilities can offer fitness opportunities year-round without concern.
Just because the season changes doesn’t mean your outdoor fitness routine has to. Winter isn’t a time to rest; it’s a time to push forward — and with our weatherproof outdoor fitness equipment, including the Apollo Multigym, Everest Cardio Climber, and more, you can stay active, strong, and healthy 365 days a year.
