  • Burns more energy and fat – as more energy is required to heat up the body’s core temperature.
  • The body’s immune system gets better.
  • Cooler temperatures than summer for outdoor exercise = less sweat/smell!
  • Embracing the outdoors and remembering nature is our friend, not the enemy.
  • Reducing the risk of injury for trips – by strengthening the body, using daily workouts.
  • Improves cardiovascular system – from breathing in the cold, crisp air and using outdoor training workouts.
  • Increases mental strength and robustness.
