It’s the start of a new year and 2023 is the perfect time to set goals for a healthier and more active lifestyle. One great way to achieve a healthier lifestyle is to incorporate outdoor activities into your daily routine. Not only do outdoor activities provide numerous health benefits, but they also offer the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature and get some much-needed Sunshine & vitamin D.
Here are a few quick tips for creating healthy outdoor habits in 2023:
- Find an activity you enjoy: The key to sticking with any new habit is to make it enjoyable for yourself. Whether you love hiking, biking, fishing, walking, or even running, find something that you genuinely enjoy doing outside and make that a part of your daily routine.
- Get the right gear: At TravelChair we understand appropriate gear. Investing in quality gear can enhance your outdoor experience. From proper shoes to weather-appropriate clothing, having the right equipment can make your outdoor activities more comfortable and enjoyable.
- Make it social: Invite a friend or family member to join you on your outdoor adventures. Not only will this provide built-in motivation, but it’s also a great way to spend quality time with loved ones.
- Set achievable S.M.A.R.T goals: Use S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals when setting up your plan. Whether it’s running a certain distance or hiking a particular trail, setting goals can help you stay motivated and track your progress. Start small and gradually increase your goals as you become more comfortable with your outdoor activities.
- Don’t forget to protect yourself: Remember to wear environment appropriate protection like sunscreen, insect repellent, or a hat to protect from sun, bugs or other pesky little things. It’s also a good idea to bring water and snacks to keep yourself hydrated and nourished during your time outdoors.


Creating healthy outdoor habits can be a fun and rewarding way to improve your physical and mental health. So why wait? Get outside and start your journey to a healthier and happier you today!
