Although many people claim to love being outside and taking part in outdoor activities, a large percentage of people spend the majority of their times indoors. With many adults and children spending up to 8 to 10 hours a day in work or school, there isn't much time left at the end of the day to enjoy fresh air.
A 2011 study found that outdoor exercise was associated with greater decreases in tension, confusion, anger and depression when compared to indoor activity. Science suggest there are benefits to exercising outdoors that can’t be replicated on a treadmill, a recumbent bicycle or a track.
Melanie Webb, wellness travel expert, thought leader and creator of Sol Fitness Adventures, shares the same beliefs. "The future of fitness is nature. " - she says.
Sol Guide Certification redefines fitness, breathing fresh air into today’s cooped up workouts. The dynamic online course and two-day teacher training unveils the benefits of integrating traditional fitness training with mindfulness techniques in the great outdoors, and is designed to help fitness professionals, outdoor guides and weekend warriors plan and lead high quality outdoor fitness experiences and retreats for their clients, friends and families.
One does not have to be a certified fitness pro or an outdoor guide to take the online course or attend the 2-day teacher training workshop. However, to take it to the next level, become a Sol Guide, and receive the continuing education and benefits that come with licensing, one is required to have a legitimate certification.
I don't believe the future of fitness is nature. It's already here. And unlike many other fitness trends, and programs, it's here to stay.
For many people combining their love and passion for fitness and the outdoors can be a great way to create a business they'll love, and will be proud of.
