Studies show that outdoor running can burn up to 10% more calories versus a static

treadmill run, thanks to wind resistance and navigating changing terrains and routes,
even if that is simply an outdoor running track. Not to mention it is usually a lot more

interesting, so switching up your surroundings should also make your workout fly by a

little faster.

Five ways to recharge your workout routine during Dubai Fitness Challenge

Regulate blood pressure

Just seeing a hint of green is enough to start to settle our heart rate and blood

pressure, studies show, and research has also found that any scenic view, whether that

be cool urban landscapes, a serene beach, or golden desert, will have a positive effect
on our self-esteem.

Boosts productivity

Think you don’t have time for a workout? In fact, getting in a pre-office class or run
might mean you can clock off a little early, because exercising outside is proven to

increase productivity. Improved cognitive function thanks to better oxygen flow can

help us stay sharper, and maintain concentration. So, a brisk morning walk may help

you whizz through that PowerPoint twice as quickly. So, no excuses!
