Current guidelines for physical activity encourages adults to engage in at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) per week, with moderate-intensity exercise, or 75 minutes (1 hour 15 minutes) per week exercise strong intensity aerobic physical activity.

However, many people fail to achieve these goals; it was assumed that the lack of a positive affective response (resulting in indirect benefits, such as improved mood) may play a role. Isabelle Dionne, at the University Institute of Geriatrics of Sherbrooke (Canada), and colleagues have completed a long 12 weeks, which involved 23 healthy postmenopausal women, aged 52-59 years, who were assigned to a group of outdoor or indoor workout and invited to perform three weekly sessions of 1 hour of aerobic training and resistance.

The researchers assessed their emotional states during the training sessions, before and after. The team observed that the emotional changes induced by exercise were higher in subjects who exercised outdoors. Outdoor workouts cause improved mood and help to maintain it. The study authors say: "Train outdoors improves emotional responses compared to training indoors, in postmenopausal women."
