Wild gym workouts can be adrenaline-boosting or serenely calming. They can involve mud, sweat and an element of fear or they can offer space for quiet reflection under a big, blue sky. Outdoor exercise burns more calories, tones muscles at a faster rate and has been proven to boost your mood and improve your health. Whatever you look for in a workout, you will find it in this indispensable guide to activities that range from beach running and buggy workouts to recumbent cycling and rock climbing.
