Exercise Is Even Better in Nature, Research Says

Take exercise outside to nature if you want greater benefits, including mental clarity and motivation, new research into “green exercise” suggests.

One study, published in Nature, says the neurological effects of physical activity in nature include better working memory and concentration.

College students performed better after outdoor study breaks than indoor versions, said Katherine Boere, a neuroscience doctoral candidate at the University of Victoria, who worked on that study. The natural world calms people and can quiet distracting chatter of the mind.

She said nature holds attention without demanding a lot of intellectual processing. We can reset our attention and then concentrate better. Plus, walking, and other exercise stimulate more blood and oxygen to the brain. #shorts #freshair #exercise #outdoors #naturelovers #southwest #nature #fitnessmotivation #getoutside #webmd Follow Chance on social media to be inspired #chancecolleen
