Try a HIIT Workout

HIIT, aka high-intensity interval training, is a challenging yet rewarding workout that’s ideal for busy people who don’t have time to spend hours at the gym. Usually no more than 30 minutes, HIIT workouts combine short bursts of intense exercise with periods of rest or lower-intensity exercise. This could mean sprints, pushups, sit-ups, jump squats, burpees—the type of high-intensity exercise is up to you!

HIIT workouts burn up to 30% more calories and fat than a regular aerobic exercise. You’ll even burn calories after you stop exercising because of increased metabolism. If you’re unsure where to start, try an internet search, sign up for a HIIT class in your community, or download a fitness app.

Jump Rope

A throwback to childhood, jumping rope is not only fun, inexpensive, and easy, it’s also great for your heart and brain health. Just 20 minutes of jumping rope can burn more calories than running a mile! It also improves coordination, strengthens shoulder and leg muscles, and boosts metabolism, ensuring an effective workout that can be done at the park or in your driveway. Use it as a warmup or work it into a HIIT routine. Either way, jumping rope is one of the best outdoor workouts where you can take in the fresh air and sun while getting your heartrate up.

Try Horseback Riding

Horseback riding offers a multitude of physical and mental benefits. Whether you try it on vacation or at your local stable, riding a horse is a relaxing and fun exercise that increases core strength, improves posture, and tones muscles. Horseback riding is also considered therapeutic and can do wonders for your mental health. Equine therapy has been proven to help with stress management, emotional awareness, and interpersonal relationships.

Practice Yoga at the Beach or Park

Take your yoga mat to the great outdoors! Practice your asanas and pranayama with an outdoor yoga session that will relax your mind, improve flexibility, and help you sleep better. And what’s better than a solo yoga session than a group yoga session? Check your local parks, beaches, or yoga studios to see if you can find an outdoor yoga class that’s open to everyone.

Hit the Pool, Bay, or Lake

It might still be a little chilly for outdoor swimming, but the weather is warming up rapidly and you can always throw on a wetsuit and take a dive into the water. Taking a cold-water plunge is also great for mental health and you’ll warm right up once you acclimate. Aquatic exercise is one of the best workouts and is easy on the body, which is great for seniors or those recovering from an injury. Try your best backstroke, freestyle, or butterfly, or play a game of Marco Polo with the kids. Swimming is great for getting in shape as it uses all your muscles, and it also builds endurance and keeps your heart rate up. You can try other water-based exercise like surfing, stand up paddle boarding, and kayaking too.

Take a Bike Ride

Whether for leisure or for sport, bike riding is an exhilarating way to spend a spring afternoon. Switch up your work commute or dedicate a weekend morning to bike riding and watch the benefits roll in. Even a short bike ride can relieve stress, improve muscle strength, and boost brain health. Add hills for more of a challenge or take it nice and easy on a beachside path.

Gardening

Who says exercise has to make you sweat? Gardening can have many similar benefits to an intense workout, without the stress on the body. You’ll need to spend at least 30 minutes tending to your garden to get a good workout, but who’s thinking of exercise when you’re planting vegetables and picking flowers? The fresh air, sunshine, and plants will help you feel reinvigorated and help your overall mental health. If you don’t have a space of your own, volunteer at a local park or community garden.
