Active social life

Cardio Plein Air isn’t only about loading up on endorphins and vitamin D, it’s also a social environment. We make it our business to know you by name, to check up on you and to give you the opportunity to socialize and exchange ideas with others.

THE BENEFITS

Exposure to sunlight is one of the best ways to fill up on vitamin D and can also provide a number of health benefits:

  • Absorption of calcium and phosphorus for strong, healthy bones;
  • Regulation of blood pressure;
  • Prevention of hypertension;
  • Contribution to healthy muscle function;
  • Improvement of mental health.

The time needed to reach the recommended dose of vitamin C varies according to the exposure level and the surface of skin exposed. It ranges from several hours during winter to no more than 10-15 minutes in summer.

That’s just one more reason for you to train with us all year round!

Outdoor activity has been shown to reduce cortisol and adrenalin levels, which in turn reduces stress and anxiety while boosting morale. When the sympathetic nervous system slows down, the parasympathetic system becomes more active, resulting in less stress.

Fresh air combined with exercise also has positive effects on health:

  • Control of heart rate and blood pressure;
  • Regulation of blood sugar levels;
  • Prevention of heart diseases, diabetes and certain chronic illnesses.

The outdoors also increases the production of endorphins and dopamine, two mood-enhancing hormones that promote a state of well-being. It has also been demonstrated that nature has far greater mental health benefits than the gym:

  • Reduction of depressive and anxiety symptoms;
  • Relief of mental ruminations;
  • Decrease in loneliness and negative emotions;
  • Enhancement of positive feelings such as pleasure, personal satisfaction and peace.

Outdoor physical activity improves sleep quality. Our internal biological clock, the circadian cycle, uses natural light to regulate itself and continuously synchronize to the correct schedule.

The system relies on several synchronizers like light, exercise and temperature to determine its rhythm and balance your sleep-wake periods.

Regular exercise also strengthens the immune system by increasing blood flow and triggering the release of infection-fighting substances.

The soothing effect of nature and exposure to various components in the air, such as bacteria and viruses, strengthen the immune system, making you less prone to infection and disease.

As immunity decreases with age, that’s yet another reason to get moving with us in the great outdoors!

Physical activity significantly raises our body’s demand for oxygen. As outdoor air carries between 5 and 10 times less pollution than indoor air, exercising in nature is the best way to breathe purer and cleaner air.

Accelerated breathing increases blood circulation and allows vital organs such as the heart and lungs to receive more oxygen and nutrients than normal, ensuring better functioning and increased efficiency. This not only helps to prevent disease, but also promotes better concentration, memory and much more.
