Indoor Vs. Outdoor Workouts For Women Age 50 And Older

-Some of the attributes of working out indoors are:

• One can have access to workout equipment (i.e. selectorized machines) that one cannot have access to outdoors.
• One can workout even if the weather conditions are bad (i.e. snowing heavily).
• You can use free weights for strength training.
• One won’t need bugs spray
• It’s safer

–Finish Fit Boot Camp® is held outdoors and there are many women over 50 that participate in our boot camps. Some of the attributes of working out outdoors are:

• Get Vitamin D from the Sun.
• Body adapts to different weather conditions which in turn builds up the immune system. Hence, one is less likely to get sick with the weather changes.
• One can breath fresh air and see the sun come out as one is working out (during the 5 am classes).
• One can incorporate sprints and runs on different ground conditions that one cannot mimic indoors.

-Tips for getting started with either:

• Establish a certain time of day to exercise and book it on your calendar. This will ensure that you stick to your plan.
• Find a reputable trainer that can help you.
• Visit several gyms or outdoor boot camps and try them out for a few days before joining.
• Set SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time bound).
• Find a workout partner. This will allow you to have a system of checks and balances. You can motivate one another and help each other stay accountable.
