Studies show that outdoor physical activity has a 50 percent greater positive effect on mental health than working out in a gym. But for men, studies also show that sweat and body odor is a number one concern. How do you achieve one without the other?

The Gillette Odor Shield outdoor fitness site will be open to the public for three days, with certified trainer EJ Barthel on hand to demonstrate how to work up a sweat -without making a stink- using nothing but urban structures such as park benches, newspaper vending machines, bus shelters, and even scaffolding.
