Outdoor exercise has added benefits over indoor workouts

Do you want to get the most of your workout?  Well, it seems that rather than paying for a gym membership you might be better off getting a workout in the great out of doors!  An article in the New York Times, The benefits of exercising outdoors, discusses the many benefits of being outside, rather than in, while working out.

The benefits of outdoor exercise include a greater level of strenuousness, improved level of enjoyment. People walking outside versus inside experienced higher levels of vitality, enthusiasm, pleasure and self-esteem, while measuring lower levels of tension, depression and fatigue.
