Another Mother Runner

The Power of Outdoor Workouts

This episode is ideal for anyone who needs a gentle push out the door or a reminder of the benefit (+ beauty!) of being active in the outdoors. The guest who puts the “out” in “workout” is Tina Vindum, founder of Outdoor Fitness and authof of Tina Vindum’s Outdoor Fitness: Step out of the Gym and into the Best Shape of Your Life. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Molly Williams, Tina talks about: 
-why negative ions have a positive effect on both body + mind; 
-trail running tips; 
-taking a wildflower “safari”;
-how to add strength moves into a run or hike; and,
-“park prescriptions” and “forest bathing.”
 
This is a hybrid episode: The intro chitchat with the hosts recounting recent outdoor exploits was recorded in July 2024, while the guest interview (which starts around 07:28) first aired in 2017.
