Are you looking for more ways to spend time outside this summer? If bad weather or a busy schedule have kept you cooped up inside this year, you’re probably looking forward to summer. If you’re trying to find ways to spend more time outdoors this summer, start with these activities that can help you get outside and enjoy the weather.
Find a Local Hiking Trail
Picking up hiking is a perfect way to spend more time outdoors this summer, and it can even help you stay more active! Find a local hiking trail, a park, or other walking path for you to start your hiking journey. If you’ve never gone on a hike before, start small and work up to longer hikes. Remember to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, especially on hot, summer days.
Have a Bonfire
During the summer, the temperature outdoors can fluctuate depending on the time of day. For example, while it might feel blistering hot during the day, temperatures can plummet when the sun goes down. Spend more time outdoors on summer nights by warming up beside a bonfire or campfire. There are plenty of fun activities your family can do around the bonfire to pass the time and spend more summer nights outside.
Bring Your Workouts Outdoors
If you love going to the gym or working out at home, consider bringing your workout outdoors. Not only will this allow you to spend more time outside in the fresh air, but your workouts can also be more effective. You’ll have more room to run, lift, and stretch without the confines of space indoors or at the gym. You’ll also work up a sweat faster in the hot summer temperatures. Try taking your next workout outside when the weather permits.
Work or Eat Lunch Outside
Whether you work in-person or from home, you might struggle to get outside, which can be frustrating when the weather is so nice. However, there may be moments throughout your workday when you can step outdoors to get a breath of fresh air. Consider taking your lunch break to find a place to eat outside. You should also practice taking several breaks throughout the day to give your eyes and mind a rest from screentime. These opportunities are perfect to go outside for a quick break and reset your brain during the workday.
Summer is the perfect time to go outdoors and enjoy the weather. If you’ve been stuck inside during the spring, utilize these ways to spend more time outdoors this summer. Don’t miss out on the warmer weather and all these fun summer activities to enjoy!
