Combining Indoor and Outdoor Exercise to Maximise Your Fitness Goals

As summer arrives, it’s the perfect time to shake up your fitness routine by combining indoor and outdoor training. At Raw Gyms Dublin, we believe that integrating both environments can enhance your workouts, keep you motivated, and help you achieve your fitness goals more effectively

Benefits of Indoor Training

  1. Controlled Environment: Indoor training offers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and conditions, allowing for uninterrupted workouts regardless of the weather.
  2. Access to Equipment: Our state-of-the-art gym facilities provide access to a wide range of equipment, from free weights to cardio machines, enabling a diverse and comprehensive workout.
  3. Structured Classes: Classes like Raw Strength and Raw Burn provide structured, high-intensity workouts led by professional trainers. These classes are designed to maximize calorie burn, build muscle, and improve overall fitness.
  4. Community and Support: Working out indoors at Raw Gyms Dublin means being part of a supportive community. Our trainers and fellow members can motivate you, offer guidance, and hold you accountable.

Benefits of Outdoor Training

  1. Fresh Air and Sunshine: Exercising outdoors allows you to enjoy fresh air and sunlight, which can boost your mood and provide a healthy dose of vitamin D.
  2. Varied Terrain: Outdoor training can challenge your body in new ways. Running on trails, cycling, or performing bodyweight exercises in a park can engage different muscle groups and improve balance and coordination.
  3. Mental Well-being: Nature has a calming effect on the mind. Outdoor workouts can reduce stress, enhance mental clarity, and increase overall well-being.
  4. Versatility: The great outdoors offers endless possibilities for workouts. From running and hiking to outdoor boot camps and yoga, you can keep your routine exciting and dynamic.

How to Combine Indoor and Outdoor Training

  1. Alternate Workouts: Alternate between indoor and outdoor workouts to keep your routine fresh. For example, attend a Raw Burn class one day and go for a run or bike ride outdoors the next.
  2. Use Outdoor Spaces for Cardio: Utilize parks, trails, and open spaces for cardio sessions. Running, cycling, and even brisk walking can complement your strength training sessions at Raw Gyms.
  3. Bring Equipment Outside: Take portable equipment like resistance bands or dumbbells outside for strength training in the fresh air. Bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, and lunges are also great options.
