Do you prefer exercising indoors or out in nature? What's the appeal of each?
B2Nature & the outdoorsCompare
A natural way to answer
I generally prefer exercising outdoors. Running or cycling in nature feels less repetitive than the gym, and the time flies by because there's always something to see. Indoor workouts are more convenient and weatherproof, but for me the fresh air and changing scenery make outdoor exercise far more enjoyable.
Key phrases to use
- flies by — passes very quickly, often because you're enjoying yourself or busy“The afternoon flew by once we got chatting.”
- does the trick — works well enough to solve a problem or get the result you want“A strong coffee usually does the trick in the morning.”
