Inside Vs. Outside Exercise:
What's Best For Long Term
Fitness in New London?

In maintaining personal fitness in New London, some people get very set in the indoor vs. outdoor exercise camps. Truth be told, there are benefits to each, but for the long haul, perhaps one trumps the other.

We are an experienced, knowledgeable, and proven team dedicated to helping people just like you become fit and healthy. Contact a Burlington personal trainer today for a free consult if you are ready to make your fitness goals a reality!

Indoor Exercise Vs. Outdoor Exercise

There are definite pros and cons to both indoor and outdoor exercising for fitness in New London. Let's take a look.

Outdoor exercise…

  • Gets you out enjoying nature and helps fill a natural desire
  • Allows you to easily avoid socializing...which may or may not be a good thing
  • Is low cost

However…

  • You are exposed to pollution in high-traffic areas
  • Depending on the area, safety may be an issue
  • Lacks the motivational support of others
  • Presents the possibility of unforeseen obstacles
  • Is unstable and unpredictable

The biggest problem with outdoor exercise is probably the weather. Certain conditions are just plain unsafe and others make it far too easy to excuse away exercising for the day; and sometimes that excuse can be used for weeks or months on end.

This brings us to indoor [gym] exercise, with…

  • Stable environmental conditions that are safe, maintained, and predictable
  • Social opportunities
  • Support and motivation of others
  • Motivation of a bright, conducive atmosphere expressly for the purpose of exercising
  • Less of a feeling of 'aloneness'
  • Consistent availability
  • Multiple equipment, exercise, and program options in one place

However…

  • Well, it's not like being outside in the sun
  • May cost more, depending on activities
  • More distracting to do at home (because there's always life & family getting in the way)

Best Of Both Worlds?

All in all, and especially where the long term is concerned, indoor exercise is just more reliable. For long term fitness success and consistent devotion, you can plan on needing to take it inside some or all of the time.

Does that mean you can't break from routine every now and then or add an outdoor element when conditions are right? Certainly not, but our focus here really is long term fitness in New London.

In It For The Long Haul

Truly sustainable exercise programs present opportunities to diversify your fitness in New London routine. That means learning how to effectively plan a routine, get the support you need, and learning to mix things up a bit. Perhaps an additional outside activity is just the thing to do that; to be sure that you can commit to regular fitness performance, best to use indoor facilities as your foundation.

Regardless of where you exercise, how you exercise is of utmost importance. Seek the guidance of a professional trainer, learn what to do (and how) both with him/her and without, and develop a fitness in New London plan that works for you.
