How to Force Yourself to Workout Outside

Published: Fri, 08/09/13

Working out indoors at home or at a gym is awesome
 
The loud music, weights clashing down & chalk clouds filling up the air is a powerful environment to get get results
 
But at the same time we also need to also be in the opposite scenario:
 
A more calm, and fresher environment like the playground, a forest or any outside place
 
This is not to say that one is better than the other, but this is to say that we need balance
 
Just as we are aggressive, we also need to calm down and relax
 
The yin & yang
 
I personally have found that working out in an inside environment vs and outside one creates this balance
Not one is better than the other as both are simply different environments that work
 
We live in a very stressful world and sometimes we don't get to relax and calm down
 
We are always on a rush, thinking or are worried about something
 
For me when I workout I forget about the world, it's just me and the training session, nothing else matters
 
But sometimes when i gotta pay some bills or got too much work, I stress out & can't stop thinking
 
I have found that being outside & working out helps me to get into the state of relaxation and calmness
 
The fresh air, birds & insects making noises around is relaxing & makes me enjoy and remember that the only thing that matters is the present
 
One simple way to make yourself workout outside more is to put an evil trap so you are forced to do it
 
Not by telling yourself to do it or planning it, but by simply putting something outside for you to workout with - something that will make you exited to go out and do
I personally just hanged my rings outside and feels good to have the big open space to use them and practice 
 
Being outside will unconsciously make you feel liberated and creative
 
Sometimes you cannot do that when you are inside 4 walls
 
So if you need a little more balance in your training, or simply want a completely different challenge outdoors then find a way to do training outside
 
Plan an evil trap for yourself to actually want to get out & workout
 
Can be something as simple as leaving a sandbag on your backyard
 
Whatever it is, just be outside a little bit more
 
I guarantee you that you will feel more grounded, relaxed and energetic!

P.S. Being outside to some can mean to go out of their comfort zone (we are some damn used to being trapped and isolated) so if this is the case for you, then start off by training at your backyard, then slowly migrate to the park once you feel comfortable
