We all have different images of our perfect, healthy lifestyle. For some, it's focused more on the physical aspects, and for others, it's on the mental ones.

Fresh air has many incredible benefits and when paired with regular exercise it is one of the most healthy activities that we can partake in. So what are these amazing benefits:
