The Benefits of Outdoor Exercise: Embrace Nature for a Healthier Lifestyle

Engaging in physical exercise is crucial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and one increasingly popular option is outdoor exercise. Exercising in natural environments offers numerous advantages that can

enhance our well-being and make fitness routines more enjoyable.

Firstly, outdoor exercise provides a change of scenery. A.____ Whether it's a local park, a nearby trail, or even your own backyard, being surrounded by greenery and fresh air can elevate your mood and

reduce stress levels.

Additionally, outdoor exercise offers a variety of options to suit different preferences and fitness levels. B._____ You can choose activities that align with your interests and abilities, making the experience

more enjoyable and motivating.

Another advantage of exercising outdoors is the exposure to natural sunlight. Sunlight is a primary source of vitamin D, essential for bone health and regulating mood. Spending time outdoors can help

combat vitamin D deficiency and contribute to a more positive mindset.

Engaging in outdoor exercise can also foster a sense of community. C.____ This can open opportunities for social interaction, making exercise a social experience and providing a supportive network for

motivation and accountability.

Finally, outdoor exercise is often more cost-effective compared to gym memberships or fitness classes. Nature is free, and you can adapt your routine to your schedule without the constraints of operating

hours or class availability.

Task A: Insert sentences/ clauses 1 to 3 in the right blank and complete the boxes with A, B or C.

1 Parks and recreational areas often attract like-minded individuals who are also seeking physical activity.
