6 Fun Outdoor Winter Activities Adults Can Enjoy After Work

Winter is one of the hardest times of the year to find the motivation to leave the sofa, let alone actually leave the house. But this time more than ever it is important that you look after both your physical and mental wellbeing as best you can. Red Original have pulled together a list of fun Winter activities that adults can enjoy after a long day at work.

Outdoor Activities That Make The Most Of The Winter Weather

1. Go On A Winter Walk

There’s nothing more refreshing than feeling the cold air in your lungs and getting your blood pumping, especially after a long day at work. Although going on a walk may seem obvious, there are huge health benefits specific to walking in Winter. Research suggests that you'll lower risk of heart disease and osteoporosis, it's just as good as running and it could even help beat depression. That’s why walking is firmly at the top of our list for outdoor Winter activities for adults.

A great way to make getting out and going for a walk more fun and engaging is to use mobile gaming apps. There are lots of apps that you can try including Geocaching Treasure hunts, Ingress, Jurassic World Alive, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, and even Pokemon Go (Gotta Catch 'em All!). Each app has its own unique way of setting you a challenge to get active, including in-game rewards for walking 10km, 25km and 50km a week. So, why not give one of these a try this Winter?
