6 o'clock-the alarm rings. More and more recreational athletes are discovering the benefits of a Pre-Work workout in the morning. Jogging paired with outdoor power sports. The trend for Outdoor Fitness from the USA, which has also come to us, is becoming increasingly popular.
Effectively exercise outdoors-without equipment from the gym? Does that work at all? While in the 1970s the number of people who died of obesity and strokes grew steadily, the sports federation decided to introduce the so-called" Trim-d-paths " in order to maintain and promote the Public Health described at that time.
The rapid increase in the number of new start-ups in the field of fitness studios in the mid-1980s led to the hype for the "trim-d" paths, unfortunately, becoming increasingly relevant and even forgotten in some areas.
While until 2010 the large number of recreational athletes in gyms has followed the Bodybuilding as well as the Bodyforming, a trend reversal has now taken place towards Outdoor Training. Old and tried-and-tested fitness concepts are taken up again and re-marketed. "Be sporty everywhere" is the Motto of the New Economy Movement, which has now also established itself in the field of fitness.
With the help of a fitness app for the Smartphone is now anyone, to operate Outdoor sports. Concepts such as Freeletics or apps like Runtastic ensure that the corresponding recreational athlete always has control over his fitness status. This is due to the fact that the applications provide the user with a detailed training plan, with which individual goals can be defined and, of course, progress can be continuously monitored.
While in the gym often to build muscle, the just-mentioned training and fitness concepts of physical wholeness in the focus of the action. Strength and endurance in combination contribute to a healthy body feeling, as well as to the noticeable vitality. This means that because of their muscles, recreational athletes no longer only look better, but also feel better. The Trend towards muscle packages is clearly declining and no longer corresponds to the ideal image of the bodybuilding industry. Aesthetically athletic body shapes paired with beautiful defined muscles are regarded by society as a guarantee of performance. Muscle mountains, behind which hide sick bodies, no one wants to see. Everyone knows the scenes from gyms, in which bodybuilders can only move in the duck due to their mass. Although they have the power to adjust correspondingly high weights, the endurance is often very low. Rarely seen in the gyms one meets bodybuilders, spending in the Cardio area.
This is where the holistic concepts come in. Instead of training the laying hens side by side in the gym on the treadmill or on the equipment, the physical Fitness can be achieved in the area of strength and endurance outdoors. Once you complete a corresponding program for 12 weeks hard, you will already notice the physical changes after 2 weeks. Through a holistic training concept, Fitness increases enormously. The body feeling, which can be achieved by an Outdoor workout, is not comparable with that of the gym. While athletes in the gym have to adapt to the movement of the respective fitness equipment, during outdoor Training by performing special training exercises with their own body weight a much more intense training stimulus. This is due to the fact that static movements, in which regardless of the weight only the same muscles are addressed, are avoided. Instead, the dynamic stress of the muscles ensures that the stress is guaranteed even the smallest muscle fibers.
If you still do not want to do without the Training of equipment, can spend in appropriate Outdoor fitness parks. These are now found in every major city. But even smaller cities are increasingly dealing with this new type of Outdoor Training. Especially beginners benefit from the guided Outdoor fitness equipment, for example from the company Ziegler-Metall. This form of training has evolved from the so-called Calisthenics field, whereby this concept has originally completely renounced the use of equipment. Here, the Training with the weight of the human body was in the foreground. The modern Calisthenics-term is characterized by a workout with the weight and other elements, in the Form of functional strength training stations, which are located in the respective Parks. Please note, for example, tie rods and bars where the corresponding exercises can be carried out. Here, the intensity is significantly higher than that of the fitness equipment in the Studio. At the same time, the Community feeling is very strong. Instead of training anonymously in a city fitness studio, there is a "We feeling"in a fitness park. The mutual drive to maximum performance is a guarantee for an intensive Training as well as the fast achievement of targeted training goals. The combination of effective Training and community ensures, especially in our present time, that traditional values are also regained in Sport. "Together for sporting self-improvement" is the Motto. A single sport becomes – through the Outdoor Training-a community sport, which leads to maximum performance in the field of leisure sports, which has no limits.
It should be noted that the Outdoor Training is quite justified and is much more effective than previously thought by many recreational athletes. In addition, human interaction in Sport ensures that it is again a fun factor and is not only regarded as an annoying compulsory event.
