Touch Grass! Getting Your Sweat on in the Great Outdoors with Trojan Health and Camp Master
There are two things that are a one-way ticket to endorphins. Exercise and nature. Combine the two and you have a match made in fitness heaven! Fortunately for us, Trojan makes taking your workouts into the great outdoors easy! In this blog we’ll delve into exactly why working outside can boost your fitness to the next level AND the Trojan Equipment (and Camp Master gear) you need to make it happen. Let’s get out and about!
Why Take Your Workout Outdoors?
Fresh Air for a Fresh Mind
There’s something magical about the fresh South African air. Whether you’re in Cape Town with the salty breeze from the ocean or amidst the lush greenery of the Drakensberg Mountains, getting out and breathing in that pure air can do wonders for your mental well-being. Exercising outdoors allows you to escape the confines of your home gym and enjoy the serenity of nature. Sounds like a no-brainer to us!
Vitamin D Boost
South Africa is blessed with abundant sunshine, making it the ideal place to get your daily dose of vitamin D. Sunlight is essential for healthy bones, mood regulation, and overall well-being. When you exercise outdoors, you soak up this natural vitamin D, benefiting both your body and mind. Sunshine = gains!
Change of Scenery
Let’s face it, staring at the same four walls day in and day out can get monotonous. Taking your workout outdoors introduces variety and excitement. Every session can be a new adventure as you explore different terrains, parks, or beaches. Why not make every workout an adventure?

Outdoor Workouts to Try
Now, let’s dive into some exhilarating outdoor workouts that you can try with your Trojan equipment:
- Trail Running with a Twist
South Africa is a runner’s paradise, offering trails that meander through breathtaking landscapes. To add an extra challenge to your trail running, incorporate intermittent stops for exercises using Trojan Resistance Bands. Imagine doing bicep curls or shoulder presses in the mystical forests of Tsitsikamma or the rugged beauty of the Karoo. This combination of running and resistance training is a heart-pumping way to explore and stay fit.
- Beach Yoga with Enhanced Stability
The beaches of South Africa are not just stunning vistas; they’re perfect yoga studios. Unroll your Trojan Yoga Mat on the sands of Jeffrey’s Bay or Clifton Beach. Let the rhythm of the waves guide your breath as you flow through poses in nature’s embrace. The extra cushioning and non-slip surface of Trojan mats provide stability for your beach yoga sessions, making them more effective and enjoyable.
- Park Circuit Training with Portable Weights:
Turn any park into your gym with Trojan Resistance Bands and Dumbbells. Create a circuit utilising the natural terrain and park fixtures. Incorporate exercises like lunges with dumbbell curls on a grassy knoll, or resistance band pull-aparts using sturdy tree branches. If you’re feeling extra-strong, bring along your Trojan Battle Rope. The versatility of Trojan equipment allows you to engage in a full-body workout, using the world as your playground.
- Outdoor Cycling with Strength Training Breaks:
Cycling in South Africa is an adventure of its own. From the scenic Garden Route to the challenging hills of Magaliesburg, cycling is a fantastic way to explore diverse landscapes while keeping your fitness levels soaring. Enhance your cycling adventure by adding an extra level of difficulty with a Trojan Weighted Vest or stopping intermittently to use a Trojan Resistance Band. This combination of cardio and strength training maximises your fitness routine.
- Group Workouts with a Trojan Twist:
Fitness is more fun with friends! Organise a group workout in the great outdoors. Bring along Trojan Jump Ropes for a high-energy cardio session or set up a friendly competition of kettlebell swings using Trojan dumbbells in the park.
