20x20 Outdoor Challenge

I'm inviting you to join me for my 20x20 Outdoor Challenge! Just make a goal of getting in some type of outdoor activity for 20 minutes and do it for at least 20 days out of the month- that's it!

Many people incorrectly assume that wellness can only be achieved by investing big chunks of time everyday, but that line of thinking often keeps people feeling defeated and keeps them from even getting out the door.

Instead, read below to see what just 20 minutes of outdoor activity most days can do for you & then click the button below to get a free printable to record your progress.

Why Exercise Outdoors?
(Sources: Piedmont Healthcare , US News, & Yale Medicine)

Increased Seratonin

Sunshine increases serotonin levels in the brain which decreased depression & anxiety.

Increased Endorphins

Exercise increases the feel-good chemicals in your body called endorphins, leaving you feeling euphoric after a good sweat.

Increased Vitamin D

Vitamin D is essential for strong bones & immunity, as well as decreased inflammation. Exposure to sunlight helps your skin manufacture its own vitamin D. Of course, you can have too much of a good thing when it comes to sun exposure but 20 minutes a day is the perfect sweet spot!

Decreased Boredom

Many people find that exercising outside is just more fun than being stuck indoors. And stepping away from distractions is freeing, too.

Decreased Stress

Research suggests that exercising outside & exposure to fresh air can decrease stress, while improving relaxation.

Decreased Cost

Exercising outside is free!
