Fun Fitness Tips

Getting in shape and staying in shape doesn't have to be dull and boring. Try some of these fun fitness activities to make your workout time more enjoyable. Musical Exercises - Put on your favorite music and do some yoga. No need for slow, elevator music. Move to your favorite beat. Or pop on the headphones or earphones and grab your MP3 or cassette player and bike to a nearby park. Too cold or rainy? You might go to a mall or other enclosed area where you can walk. Crash The Gym - Check out a new gym and shoot some basketball in some fun funky, multi-colored sunglasses. Take your cassette player or MP3 player and favorite tunes. You might pack some flavored water and a new flavored health bar that you've been waiting to try. Fitness Classes - Try out a new fitness class for fun. Enjoy a full water aerobics workout. This puts less stress on your joints. Swim to the beat. Or try a dance or Jazzercise routine. No need to commit long-term, just ask about popping in for a class or two to check it out and enjoy. Meet new friends and get fit all at once. Use The Gym for a Day - Dig out those coupons you've been receiving in envelope mailers about those free trial workout sessions. Again, no need to commit long-term. Just head on over and use the free or low-cost trial period offers and enjoy! Shake Your Stuff! - Head to the library and pick a taped workout on DVD. Crank up the tunes and workout in the privacy of your own home. You can grab a friend and head to the park and throw a football or kick a soccer ball around for awhile. Or simply walk your dog for a mile or so and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful sunshine. These are some fun and easy ways to enjoy staying fit. Enjoy yourself and lose weight at the same time!
