Benefits include reducing stress and improving mental health, not to mention our overall cardiovascular fitness.
Summer is a great time to get outdoors, enjoy the warm weather and get some quality exercise at the same time. And, let's face it, it’s much easier to motivate yourself when the sun is shining.
There are plenty of options. Go for a brisk walk or a jog in the park – whatever takes your fancy. Long slow cardio exercise is a great way to lose the pounds.
At Allison Homes we have developments in Collingham, Corby and Spalding which are all within easy reach of open spaces where you can do your outdoor workouts.
Here are some ideas for things that you could try.
Collingham Community Park in the centre of Collingham has plenty to keep the kids amused, but there is also an array of adult outdoor gym equipment to use.
If you are into cycling, you can find some of the best countryside and roads for cycling in Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire. Rutland Water is nearby with plenty of cycle ways and footpaths, not mention lots of other opportunities to get out in the fresh air and exercise.
Parks often have outdoor gym equipment – you could devise a few routines like these to help with your general fitness. Weldon Woodland Park near our Oakley Rise development has footpaths, grassland walks and an outdoor fitness trail.
Running is one of the easiest forms of outdoor exercise. Following a training plan for any distance will have terrific benefits for your health. There are plenty of footpaths around our developments if you’re looking to pound the pavements. Slightly further afield there are parks and countryside trails to walk, jog and run along.
These are just a few of the things you can do in and around Allison Homes’ developments, so get out and about, enjoy the summer weather and get fit at the same time.
If you are thinking of moving to a new home, and your priority is having plenty of open space around you in which to exercise, then look no further than our developments at Oakley Rise in Corby, Pinchbeck Fields near Spalding or Collingham Brook in Collingham.
