Step Outside Just For The Health Of It





Did you know you can burn 408 calories per hour during a typical pheasant hunt? That's more than 100 calories more per hour than in golf or dancing. The National Shooting Sports Foundation’s STEP OUTSIDE program is encouraging Americans to “Shoot, Fish, Hunt…Just For the Health of It!” Health experts and organizations point out numerous health benefits of traditional outdoor sports, and these benefits are highlighted in a new section of www.stepoutside.org that proves the physical, mental and nutritional benefits of shooting, hunting and fishing. "Participation in traditional outdoor sports is trending one direction, while our country's obesity crisis is trending the opposite direction. Perhaps that's not coincidental. As our culture becomes more sedentary and detached from nature and outdoor lifestyles, it's no surprise that our collective waistline would begin to pay the price," says Doug Painter, NSSF president. "Today we encourage avid sportsmen and women to take someone along on your next outing. Sharing the experience could not only add quality—but also quantity—to both of your lives."
