Exercising outdoors, particularly in mountains, offers unique benefits. Research suggests that outdoor exercise can be more beneficial than indoor exercise. Spending time hiking in mountains for around 90 minutes can decrease rumination and negative thought patterns. It also provides a mental escape, allowing for new insights and perspectives. Additionally, being in awe-inspiring environments can increase creativity, curiosity, pro-social behavior, and the perception of having more time. Mountains truly open up our world in multiple ways.
