Physical & Mental Health Benefits of Outdoor Exercise 

Winter outdoor activities like skiing, snowshoeing, winter running and fat biking offer unique physical benefits. They not only improve cardiovascular health, strength, and endurance but also give your body a challenging workout while taking advantage of the snow. On the mental side, outdoor exercise is proven to reduce stress, boost mood, and fight off the winter blues. Natural sunlight—even in the winter—helps with serotonin production, improving your energy and focus.
