5 Ways to Get Fit Outdoors

Dave Reid Climbing in Cali

You've been indoors most of the winter, with just the treadmill for company. And then you hear it...THE CALL OF THE OUTDOORS – WOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
You best bet is to attend to that call. Great temperatures and your surroundings can not only motivate you to exercise, but help you enjoy it more, experts say.

"And if you love doing an activity, you're more apt to do it regularly," says Robyn Stuhr, exercise physiologist and director of the Women's Sports Medicine Center at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery.

But what should you do once you get outdoors? Fitness experts who spoke to WebMD gave their picks for some of the best (and most enjoyable) fitness activities out there: climbing hiking, biking, swimming, and jogging

These are the 5 great ways to get fit outdoors

1. Rock Climbing
When you consider the benefits of rock climbing, you usually think first of the physical benefits. Although rock climbing is practiced by both genders and almost all ages, it is a sport that requires a great deal of physical strength. An important benefit of rock climbing is what it does for your personal self confidence. Dave Reid, pictured above, mentions that the sense of accomplishment and the exhilaration that comes at the end of a successful climb is tremendous

2. Hiking
Hiking uses a lot of up-and-down movement, so you get a tremendous leg work out along with the cardiovascular benefits. Hiking provides a relaxing atmosphere for a workout that doesn't seem like a workout at all. . Listening to the birds and a babbling brook, and enjoying the cool breeze of the forest, provides a break

3. Biking
Not only is bicycling an excellent cardiovascular exercise, but you can really explore your community by cycling to different neighborhoods or in parks, bike paths, or trails. Many people cycle to commute to work. Biking is fun, can be used as transportation, and works different muscles than walking or running.

4. Swimming
Swimming is a wonderful cardiovascular conditioner that also helps tones arms and legs, and it's very easy on the joints, says Stuhr. Swimming will increase your stamina, can help ward off diabetes and high blood pressure, and relieves stress, Stuhr tells WebMD.

5. Jogging/Running
Jogging is terrific for your heart and lungs, and it improves your stamina. If you're trying to lose weight, it can burn calories more quickly than walking. Running is also an excellent cardiovascular exercise. A 150-pound woman can burn 306 calories running for 30 minutes at 5 mph (a 12-minute mile).

Make note to add one, two or all of these outdoor activities to your exercise regimin and you will notice results in no time.

Have a great time outside.

Funk Junior's Top 10 Outdoor Games

As North Americans for the third straight year, we have received a failing D grade, indicating that overall progress on improving physical activity among children and youth has stalled. Overweight and obesity is at an all time high with a few contributors.

The major one is that children and youth are spending twice as much time in front of a screen as they do engaged in physical activity. That is a problem. Well never fear because Funk Jr. is here to aid with some helpful tips as to how you can keep your kids active.

Junior, at 11 years old, is an extremely active boy. If he is not playing on one of many school sports teams, or dreadfully doing his homework, then you will always find him, across the street in the field or in the court yard, where he and a boatload of his pals play. Oh and forget about seeing him on the weekends, because when the rooster crows he is out the door and he won't return until the street lights come on.

Do you need to get you child active?

Here are Funk Junior's Top 10 Outdoor Games:

1. Football - usually played 6 on 6 in the field. No pads with full contact - ouch!
2. Manhunt - this one is like tag but once you catch someone then they are on your team
3. Four Square - King, Queen Jack, Ass - This is played on school grounds or in the courtyard - you must remember this gem
4. Handball - played on a wall with a tennis ball - singles or doubles
5. Roller Street Hockey - since there is no snow/ice, he still finds a way to enjoy Canada's greatest pastime
6. Basketball - 5 on 5 full-court on an 8 ft rim - can you say DUNK CONTEST!
7. Soccer - the Toronto FC helped to propel this already popular game into the stratosphere
8. Tackle British - BRITISHHH!!! - My all-time favourite game , these kids go full steam ahead tackling each other left-right and centre
9. Hide and Seek - This classic is still among favourites, especially in that courtyard
10. Capture the Flag - a camp classic can still be played at home

To help keep our children and youth active, we need to Engage and empower them to get active and target the after school hours for increasing physical activity opportunities.

Funk and Funk Jr,

Get Active!

KETTLEBELL TRAINING FOR BEACH VOLLEYBALL

Kettlebell Training for Beach Volleyball

Mark Heese and Ahren Cadieux, Olympic Hopefuls

As an ex-Professional Beach Volleyball player, I wish that I had the knowledge of the different training programs and tools that consists today. There is one training tool that I feel is dramatically underutilized in the world of beach volleyball – the Kettlebell.

Kettlebells are effective in training for athletic performance development. The Kettlebell is great addition to the athletes training a number of reasons.

First of all, there are a wide variety of drills that can be performed with them. Secondly, they are inexpensive and take up very little space. And lastly, you don’t need to be in a facility to train. In the case of beach volleyball, you can train with them right on the beach. And what better place to do your training? Athletes will get better transfer of training if they practice on the surface that they play on.


One of the specific exercises that I suggest for beach volleyball athletes is the Kettlebell swing. This basic ballistic drill allows the athlete to develop better ability to effectively generate and absorb kinetic energy through the body’s most powerful engine (the hips) in one single motion.


Another advantage of the swing is that it helps prepare the athlete for the more advanced Kettlebell power exercises, such as: cleans, jerks and snatches. All of which are excellent, because they not only train the hips, but also the: shoulder complex, rotator cuff (more specifically the external rotators, teres minor and infraspinatus) which is so often neglected in athletic training programs.

Beach volleyball players professional, amateur and recreational should all add the Kettlebell workout into the full volleyball training regimen

GET A MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY BODY

When you think of Celebrity fit guys, one name that always comes in the top five is Matthew McConaughey. How does this actor continue to wow audiences with his body? Below is his workout that helped transform his body into what it is today.

This involves a gain in strength, flexibility, agility, and endurance. So if these are some of your goals, you may want to take a good look at the following workout.

The workouts on Monday, Wednesday and Friday are set up in supersets. This means that you will perform all the exercises in a single "set," and then repeat the whole set for the number of times indicated.

For exercises with weights, use a heavy enough weight to challenge you for an 8- to 12-rep range.

Monday --Supersets
Set 1 - repeat 2 to 4 times:
Dumbbell fly
Incline chest press Weighted Swiss Ball crunch

Set 2 - perform once:
Angled pullup: Alternate pulling yourself up toward one of your hands (rather than straight up the middle) Elliptical machine (1 minute forward, 1 minute backward)

Set 3 - repeat 2 to 4 times:
Bench dip
Single-arm overhead tricep extension with a rope Reaching medicine ball lunge: Move a medicine ball from your upper left to your lower right as you lunge, and alternate sides

Supplement Special - Sportlab Fem Phat Attack Stack

Sportlab Fem Phat Attack Stack

Go from fat to ‘phat’ with Sportlab’s latest stack!

Its time to stop dreaming about losing that extra 15 and pounds and start living it. Get that beach body and keep it.

A woman’s metabolism is different. Our bodies love fat and once they get it they won’t let go. That’s why 95% of all diets fail.

It’s time to become one of the five percent and exercise alone won’t get you there. Ask any female fitness professional and they’ll tell you diet and supplements are critical to success.

Milky Whey’s unique blend of fast and slow release protein will not only keep you feeling full longer, but maintains lean muscle mass. Here’s how it works: When you eat protein a chemical is released that travels to the brain and tells it “Stop Eating!” This doesn’t happen when you snack on a rice cake. Protein also helps prevent the loss of muscle and muscle requires more energy than fat. More muscle means more calories are burned even sitting at your desk!

CE3 CLA: CLA stands for Conjugated Linoleic Acid. It’s a healthy fat that has been proven in study after study to promote weight loss!

Phat Burner is a unique blend of Sportlab’s PhatBlast, GlucoBlast and HydroBlast. These work to ensure your metabolism is working at peak efficiency and to give that extra energy you need throughout your hectic day.

Here’s how it all comes together! In nature protein doesn’t exist without fat – think of the fat content of nuts and dairy and meat. Combining Milky Whey’s delicious shakes with the healthy fat CLA, all while increasing energy and metabolism with Phat Burner will guarantee results!

Don’t let all your hard work in the gym go to waste!

Get the help you deserve with Sportlab’s Fem Phat Attack Stack!
