Spending time in nature is good, but training in nature is even better. When people mention outdoor training, we usually think of professional runners and cyclists, torturing themselves in harsh conditions to achieve maximum results. However, you don’t need such drastic measures to achieve a positive and healthy outcome.
Walking, the simplest form of movement, can do wonders for your body and health if done in a natural environment. Most hiking trails can be reached from major cities by cars or public transport, so they are always within your reach. You can also use a bicycle and spare the areas around you from exhaust fumes and pollution.

After adapting to urban life, we, as a human species, have strayed further and further away from nature, often to our detriment. We are inherently biophilic, and we have a constant need for a close connection with our environments.
In fact, our species seems to be programmed to seek out forests, meadows, and mountains in any form, even as digital images. Children also prefer to play in parks whenever possible and improvise their playgrounds with all available resources.
My name is Brent Lott, and I’ve been a nature lover my whole life. As a fan of mountain biking and all outdoor sports, I’ve always tried to bring people closer to nature and to point out its many benefits.
We Are Programmed to Appreciate Nature
Our childish desire to explore every blade of grass, find every hidden bug, and carefully examine every rock is more than a passing interest. Strong attachment to nature has a high evolutionary value because people who carefully monitor their natural environments have always had an advantage in hunting and survival. No wonder the sight of flowers, lush landscapes, and hundred-year-old trees still calms our nerves, even today.
Unlike children, who rush off to explore the nearest forest, without any reservations, adults tend to suppress their natural need for the outdoors. Many people spend most of their lives inside, living the consumerist dream and risking their health in the process. We keep ignoring the fact that a lack of sunlight weakens the immune system and further increases the risk of depression and anxiety.
