An article of this type should begin by making you literally water your mouth with a list of all the benefits that the workouts you describe involve.
Instead, start by saying that ... the training in the open air wins over everything.
Bodybuilders of the present age - the sculpted physicists of Gold Gym, to say - they knew it well: train outdoors it really offers an extra gear.
Without going to bother science (as in the case of the positive relationship between physical activity, sun exposure and vitamin D, which also affects muscle growth), just think of our mood when we have the chance to make a outdoor workout, especially - but not only - in spring.
I stop here, and we start with these five workouts: perfect for conditioning ours metabolism, improve our athletic performance and, while we're at it, burn some extra fat.

Strength and conditioning, but outdoors
I forgot another positive aspect: these workouts need to limited equipment and minimal. A good city park, to say, enough and progress. They can therefore be improvised if, for example, they suddenly get rid of a couple of hours.
Similarly, they can be used as substitutes for a gym session if in this, for one reason or another, we cannot go there.
The only additional warning concerns the external environment. Make sure you have the right clothes and, especially if it's summer and you train for days, take care to stay well hydrated.
