Staying Active Doesn’t Have To Be Boring…
Whether you’re looking to get back into fitness or looking for new ways to add exercises to your existing routine we have some creative ways to get the body moving again. These are great ways for any fitness level to break a sweat and break out of your comfort zone to try something new!
DANCE!
Arguably one of the most entertaining forms of fitness, dancing is a quick and fun way to get your body moving and improve your mood in a matter of minutes. Looking to take it to the next level? There are leading dance-fit instructors that have in person and online classes for different levels, music genres, and fitness goals to turn this into a serious weekly routine.
SOCIAL GROUPS
If you looking to branch your social circle and also into team sports this is the perfect activity for you. Local social groups host weekly and weekend leagues for activities such as kickball, softball, volleyball, basketball, soccer, and more for both men’s/women’s and co-ed leagues. These are great ways to stay active with friends without feeling the dread of an exercise class.
ACTIVITY’S IN YOUR DAY
Building active habits in your daily routine will help improve your overall health, keep your body and mind energized throughout the day, and it’s an easy way to add exercise into your life if your tight on time. Looking for activities can be tricky but start with some basics and see if you can challenge yourself to finding more! Some examples to kick off your daily activities are taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking farther away from your destination, taking a standing and movement break at your office/desk.
BIKE RIDING
Grab a bike and hit the road, this is a great way to explore your neighborhood parks and trails by yourself or with friends! If you haven’t ridden a bike in a while or own one, look to see if there are rentals in your city to see if this is an activity for you. There are social groups that plan and coordinate group rides around town which adds a fun and creative way to making this a great weekly activity.
GARDENING
A great way to bring activity in your life, connect with nature, and share the experience with your significant other or kids! Gardening not only gets the body moving but it teaches us about consistency and habits when it comes to growing and maintaining plants, flowers, and vegetables. Gardening is not only fun and educational but it also engages your sensory inputs and helps your body/mind relax because of the meditative nature that comes with this activity.
