Physical and mental health depend on many factors. Lifestyle and related physical activity not only improve fitness and maintain a satisfactory figure. Exercise in the fresh air is also a shot of vitamin D and oxygenates the heart muscle, and thereby all the tissues in the body. Warm months encourage physical effort more than winter ones, so let's be active during the holidays.

Why is exercise in the fresh air so important for health?

Walking, jogging, rollerblading, cycling, mountain climbing – there are many possibilities for outdoor activities. Thanks to this, everyone can find a sport for themselves, regardless of age or health condition. Outdoor activity strengthens the skeletal and muscular system. It contributes to the reduction of fat tissue and improves physical fitness.

Exercise in the fresh air improves the work of the heart and the whole circulatory system. Consequently, the body more quickly removes toxins accumulated within it. But that's not all the benefits of physical activity outdoors! Regular outdoor effort also improves the functioning of the nervous system, cognitive functions such as concentration, memory, and thinking, and ultimately contributes to improving well-being and provides an energy boost for the whole day.

Holiday ideas for good well-being

The destination obviously has paramount importance. Spending a vacation in a dream place surrounded by loved ones is essential. Wherever we go, the question arises: what will we do? Outdoor activities naturally fit into the holiday plan, because summer weather encourages staying outside. Sometimes, however, the possibilities for movement are quite limited, e.g., due to the need to take care of small children. Although planning activities is then somewhat difficult, it doesn’t mean impossible! Of course, for enthusiasts this is nothing new, because with the right equipment, jogging or cycling can be done in the company of the little ones, but not everyone is so determined. Can you take care of your health on a lazy vacation?

Physical activity in the fresh air – different faces of sport

Vacation is a time of relaxation for many people. If we add indulgence in culinary matters, we may return from vacation not only with extra kilos but also feeling worse. Therefore, even on holidays at a SPA hotel, it is worth finding time for outdoor exercise.

In Poland and Europe, there are many places with bike trails for beginner cyclists and beautiful walking trails for whole families. Many outdoor activities are free, such as outdoor gyms or public volleyball courts. Outdoor sport does not have to mean hard and strenuous mountain trips. Actually, 30 minutes of effort a day is enough. A brisk walk with Nordic walking poles can take place pretty much anywhere – in the park, forest, or on the beach.

Mazury for less and more active people

Arriving at a SPA hotel does not have to mean giving up outdoor activity. Hotel St. Bruno in Giżycko takes care of its guests in many ways. Here you will find a swimming pool, billiards, bowling, and a children's playground. Currently, a new attraction is the outdoor gym. Parents know very well that exercise in the fresh air is very important for the physical and mental health of children. However, it happens that they forget about themselves during the holidays, focusing on the needs of their children. Therefore, the hotel has ensured that children have their own playground with a trampoline, slide, and inflatable castle, while adults have their outdoor regeneration zone in the form of an open gym.
