Nature has always been an escape for me…

March 10, 2020March 10, 2020Rachel Fox

“Nature has always been an escape for me. Growing up in Boy Scouts and in my small town, I was always outdoors. Every time I am out in nature, I experience a wave of awe along with strong feelings of physical and emotional spirituality. Nature is the oldest thing on Earth and needs the upmost preservation and conservation in order for generations to experience the same waves of awe.”

Benefits of Working out Outside

March 4, 2020March 1, 2021Rachel Fox

Working out is an important part of health and wellness. The typical guidelines tell you to get around 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise each week which ends up being about 30 minutes- 5 days a week. Instead of asking yourself if you should workout or not, the question should be “should i workout indoors or outdoors?”

Working out outdoors can provide a lot of benefits for your mental and physical health. Some of these benefits include getting some fresh air, you activate more muscles when you are working out outdoors, cheaper, and you get your daily dose of vitamin D.
