Exercising in the fresh air is good – it’s not just beginners who quickly notice this. As soon as we run, something happens within us that creates a positive feeling. But what exactly happens?
Anyone who starts running will quickly notice how good exercise in the fresh air is. And even experienced runners know that exercise has a positive effect on the body and soul. But what exactly happens?
As soon as we run, the circulation gets going. The pulse and breathing quicken. This is best done slowly. That’s why it’s important to warm up before a run: simply hop on the spot for two to three minutes and let your arms circle, that’s enough. The blood flow is increased, the cells are flooded with oxygen and the metabolism is stimulated. This activation also works in the brain. We feel active and awake. And you can get started.
