Outdoor as part of modern leisure activities

Outdoor activities have long since moved away from purely adventurous pursuits and have become an integral part of modern leisure activities. Time spent outdoors represents a balance to everyday life, conscious exercise, and the desire for direct experiences outside of enclosed spaces.
