Running/Walking Outdoors helps you mentally

Aye thanks for the tip, its always good to have a change from something aye

I've never used a treadmill before. But I can tell you that running on the track is different from running on the streets or trails. On the streets is where I am fastest, because on the track I just want to quit at the end of each lap. But then the trails I love because I get to see the most random things, like a baby bunny hopping across the trail or an egret flying overhead. I tend to run slower on the trails because for me I am just enjoying the scenery as if I were still hiking them rather than running. So how is running going for you? It is addicting isn't it?

There is nothing like walking or running in nature. You have all the fresh air to help your body and mind and it's defferent for the feet too. It's best to run or walk bearfoot on the sand, really works out the feet and legs, but if there is no beach in the area, runung on unpaved roads in the nature preserves or woods is great too.

Yes, i was amazed that chess grandmasters have an exercise regimen, as in like a real physical workout. It is said that physical fitness improves mental toughness.

you are so right that walking is good for you and being in the fresh air helps a lot, I have diabetes and i walk for at least a hour everyday to help keep my sugar down.I do not think that i will ever run,,But i do walk at a good pace to get my heart rate up.

oh~ i play basketball with my roommate everyday,and this make me feel good . i seldom catch cold.also,it can help you make lots of friends who have common with you.

It is relly nice! And inspiring in a way. Like when you look at the trees or smell the freshly cut grass while you jog. Mind you they can uplift the spirit, and you cannot get it in the gym. Stayin' healthy, calyxus
