For some of us, traditional cardio workouts just aren’t
something we jump out of bed to do. I have a really hard time staying on our
elliptical machine for more than 1-2 minutes whereas my husband can stay on
that thing for 45 minutes and still like it. I may be an exception instead of
the rule but I find running, elliptical machines and stationary bikes kind of
boring so I spend the whole time watching the clock and thinking about how my
muscles are beginning to hurt. It just doesn’t work for me.
Does that mean that I can’t tone my muscles or get my heart
pumping a little faster? Definitely not!
There are many different ways to have fun while getting the
physical results you desire.
- Hula Hoop
- Jump rope
- Trampolines (full sized or mini)
- Dancing
- Swimming
- Basketball
- Playing Tag
Some of these suggestions can be done in your own living
room or garage, with the kids, with friends or alone.
The idea is to get up,
get moving and get healthy. If you can do that without dreading your work out, there is a higher probability
that it will actually get done on a regular basis.
Maybe we could just change the name from Work Out to Play Time? It was Just a thought.
What is your favorite active thing to do and why? Your ideas
will inspire me and a whole lot of other people so thanks for sharing.
