It's about losing body fat. If you wanted to get abs and get your abs to show through, then doing a thousand crunches a day will build muscle underneath, but you won't see results if you're not shedding some body fat through proper nutrition and cardiovascular activity.
Fortunately, many outdoor summer activities can improve your cardiovascular system and overall fitness, which will help those beautiful abs and buns shine through.
Doing multiple activities outdoors is the ultimate cross training.
Although true health requires a balanced approach to caring for your whole body, different activities do activate and emphasize different parts of the body. So if you're just dying to buff up your shoulders for tank top season, you'll want to opt for kayaking instead of running.
But be sure you're doing your activity of choice strenuously enough to get a true cardiovascular workout
