Texas: According to a recent study, working out outside can be more advantageous than working out inside.

American researchers found that exercising in a natural setting outside of the home has more advantages in a new study that was published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine. But he also pointed out that not everyone has the chance to work out outside, thus access to natural environments can differ greatly.

The research indicates that the natural environment can be a useful setting for encouraging physical activity, according to lead researcher and head of the Texas A&M University Centre for Health and Nature Jay Maddock. In general, people love the outdoors more in parks, gardens, etc.

 
He went on to say that physical activity in such a setting can boost immunity, elevate mood, lessen pain perception, and help prevent chronic issues like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and bone disease. It may also contribute to ageing.
