"The Japanese term Shinrin-yoku may literally mean "forest bathing," but it doesn't involve soaking in a tub among the trees. Rather it refers to spending time in the woods for its therapeutic (or bathing) effect. Most of us have felt tension slip away in the midst of trees and nature’s beauty. But science now confirms its healing influence on the body. When you spend a few hours on a woodland hike or camping by a lake you breathe in phytoncides, active substances released by plants to protect them against insects and from rotting, which appear to lower blood pressure and stress and boost your immune system." ~Mother Nature Network
TOPFIT says: And this is just part of the healing and rejuvenating effects that nature can have on your mind and body!
I got the day's activities started with a workout of weighted chinups, suspension single arm pullups, bodyweight pullups, and hanging scapular depression/retraction. A bit later I headed back out to my gym for a 30 minute heavy bag workout.
