 5 summer activities to exercise without feeling it


Who said you have to hurt while exercising? With bright blue skies and greenery all around, summer brings more opportunities to get outside and move around. Of course, it can be tempting to break out of the routine and relax around the pool sipping cocktails.


However, once you discover the following summer activities, nothing will stop you from doing challenging exercises and building endorphins in hot weather. And that's because you won't even see them as workouts, which is exactly why they're great!



Summer activities to exercise without feeling it

1 - hiking

Whether you're taking a relaxing walk or hiking on top of a mountain, hiking in the summer can do wonders for your mind and body. It is also an exercise that you can do with friends or even with your dog. This, combined with the beautiful landscape, will help distract you from any thoughts of exercise. Plus, you can take a different walk each day, from exploring the local wilderness to going out in a group. Simply enter a location in apps like AllTrails to discover great trails.


2 - cycling

Sure, there are bikes in gyms, but they're stuck to the ground and indoors. Cycling while on vacation is a fun way to relax, explore new places, and an effective way to exercise without even realizing it. Plus, they're easy to find: bike rentals are fully available at nearly every tourist destination, making them a great way to hang out with friends and family, too.


3 - Swimming and water sports

From lakes to beaches to swimming pools, nothing beats swimming in summer. A study from the University of Essex found that exercising outdoors improves mental and physical health. In addition, the presence of water brings more positivity and pleasure into the mix. Water sports such as kayaking and windsurfing are fun. And while working out in the waves will help you burn more calories, it will take your mind off the fact that you're actually exercising.


4 - outdoor sports

Almost all tourist destinations have spaces dedicated to outdoor sports. Basketball, tennis, beach volleyball, or even soccer in the park offer plenty of opportunities for high-intensity sports and burn extra calories with a social element, making it easy to lose track of and forget you're exercising.


5 - Yoga

At the beach or in your own backyard, the beauty of yoga is that it can be practiced anywhere. Reconnecting with your surroundings is even better when yoga is practiced outdoors in the summer. Trees, grass, flowers and the natural surroundings help increase mindful relaxation, restore energy and enhance inner focus, removing stress and improving mood. When you greet in the sun, or root in a tree pose while you focus your gaze on a real tree, you bring a new kind of power to the practice, a power you'll never want to put out. the end.


We highly encourage summer outdoor activities in summer, but you can't do sports in nature all the time. That's why EVO Training Zones are designed to recreate fun and progressive training environments in the great outdoors, so bodies move the way they're meant to.
