It’s worth spending May Saturdays on outdoor activities. Green Outdoor Workouts – a series of free urban outdoor training combined with cleaning the green areas – are an ideal opportunity for this. Workouts are organised throughout the country by the Zdrofit, Fabryka Formy, Fitness Academy, FitFabric, My Fitness Place, Step One and S4 networks.
The results of the latest MultiSport Index 2022 survey show that only two out of five adult Poles meet the basic recommendations of the World Health Organisation by undertaking at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week. On the other hand, 28% of physically active Poles admit that they would like to exercise more often. Green Outdoor Workouts organised by Benefit Systems, which will take place in parks and forests of the largest cities and agglomerations in Poland on Saturdays in May, are a great opportunity to turn words into action. Apart from taking part in the classes, their participants will also be able to contribute to the environment.
Green Outdoor Workouts are also a great opportunity to take the first steps towards changing one’s lifestyle as well as get to know trainers and classes conducted in fitness clubs. According to research, many people do not start their adventure with physical activity because they fear that they fall by the wayside. Thanks to Green Outdoor Workouts it is fitness clubs that reach out to people who, for various reasons, have not decided to appear in them so far. In this way we show that literally everyone can exercise safely in sports facilities under the watchful eye of qualified trainers, regardless of age and fitness level – says Tomasz Groń, Managing Director at Benefit Systems Fitness Branch.
