30 weeks as a free athlete – Outdoor training!

Freeletics Transformation week 30

Finally, 15 weeks of outdoor training finished! This was something I was looking forward to.  As I wrote 5 weeks ago, strength program was harder and more difficult that I imagined and tougher than the first 15 weeks in my opinion, but today it is OK, I am enjoying every workout. Freeletics Chapter 2 finished – 30 weeks as a free athlete and 15 weeks with only outdoor training!

It’s summertime! The last 15 weeks I have been doing only outdoor training. – In all kind of weather. Since I am lucky enough to not have any allergic reaction to pollution this has been a very nice springtime outdoors. I prefer to do my training outdoors because I get a feelings of revitalization, decreased anger, and increased energy. Outdoor workout also give me an overall positive effect on vitality,  sense of enthusiasm, aliveness and happiness. This is maybe because I live far north where the air is fresh. I believe further south heat may be a problem, but you can always do your workout before the sunrise?

Finally, simply spending more time outside is good for our immune-system.  But both extreme heat and cold can pose a variety of issues. During December-January we can get -30 degrees celsius and only 2-3 hours of daylight in south of Norway.

The workout I have done mostly these strenght program outdoor weeks is Hades, Artemis and Venus. At least these are the ones I remember. I unlocked Kipping HS pushups 2 weeks ago, but are still struggling to do it correctly.

The good thing about unlocking new exercises, is that the coach gives me new workouts. That feels refreshing. So as you see above, I started posting/blogging my freeletics lifestyle on Instagram where I try to update my account every day, so please follow me at instagram.

Check out Freeletics nutrition guide for ideas and guideline to barbeque and other summer foods. Chicken salads is probably the best I can get these day. (With more chicken than salads…(!))

I am always in need of a training goal. Therefore I will try 15 more weeks on strength program adding some endurance (running) – I’ll post updates both at Instagram and here.  Workout and food are both still high priority to me, and outdoor training is great. So make Freeletics your way of gaining more happiness with outdoor training. Learn more about freeletics – My username is Vegard* –Follow me
