6 Fun Fitness Activities...
Exercising
and staying fit doesn't have to mean hard work. Simply being active will help
you get or stay in good shape. So with that said, here are some enjoyable
activities that can help with your fitness goals too.
Bicycling
When you ask many adults when the last time
they rode a bike is, they cannot answer. Although bicycling is a favorite
pastime, many adults do not take advantage of this great option for exercise.
Not only does bike riding exercise the body and build a stronger cardiovascular
system, it allows you to get out and enjoy nature, fresh air, and see
new sites.
Jogging or Walking
Both jogging and walking are GREAT ways to
get fit. Not only do they tone the muscles, relieve stress, create a healthier
heart, and improve lung capability, they make you look wonderful, which in
turns helps you get excited about doing other exercise for fitness activities.
Swimming
Swimming is an excellent way to get into
and stay in shape. If you do not own a pool, many high schools have aquatic
centers, or there is always the YWCA or YMCA, or your local gym. Many offer
water aerobic classes that will help you tighten your body, lose weight, and
get a
good overall workout.
Tennis Anyone?
Tennis is not only a fun sport, but also a
great way to exercise. You do not have to be a Venice Williams to play; in
fact, you do not even have to be good. Just running after the ball alone will
help get you into shape. This is a great way to strengthen your cardiovascular system
and lose weight. You can find tennis courts in just about every city and if you
would like to play but have no idea how, lessons are reasonable.
Tip: Raquetball is sort of a "one
person tennis". If you don't have someone to play tennis with, or you
aren't feeling sociable, try raquetball instead.
Dancing
Dancing is so much fun and whether you
enjoy a slow, Ballroom dance or a nightclub packed with people all moving to
heart-pumping techno, as long
as you are moving, it really does not matter what
type of dance or music. The whole idea is to move your body. Dancing has long
been recommended as an avenue to fitness.
Tip: Belly Dancing is an excellent workout
for your stomach, waist and hips ladies!
VCR
If you have a VCR or DVD , rather than just using it for your
favorite comedy or action-packed movie, try sticking in some good workout tapes.
Even taking 15 minutes every day to work out will get you started. Try that for
two weeks and you will be surprised at the results. Once you see that 15
minutes a day makes a difference, you will be encouraged to increase the time
spent.
And one of my personal favorites...
Yardwork!
Whether you're pulling weeds, planting
flowers, mowing the grass or chopping wood: All of these activities can help
you get into better shape. Don't cheat yourself though. Using a riding mower to
cut the grass won't help you use the muscles or get your blood pumping ;)
So go out and get active, have fun, and
work on getting or staying fit too!
