When most people think of exercise they think of long boring and intense workouts. This doesn't have to be true! There are so many ways to burn extra calories without getting bored. Personally my favorite fun exercise is dancing. In fact hip hop dancing will burn anywhere from 370-610 calories per hour! I crank up the volume on my Pandora Radio and dance till I can't dance anymore! Here are a few ways in which you too can have fun while burning that fat.
Let me see you move this hips
Hula Hooping isn't just for kids. It can be a great waist exercise that will gets those abs sweating. It can also help to tone your arms and legs! With this fun exercise you can burn anywhere from 420-600.
Burn Calories and become one with Nature
If you are the type of person who really enjoys being in-tune with nature, try hiking! Hiking with a backpack is a weight baring workout that also provides an intense Cardio workout. Hiking with a backpack can burn up to 500 calories and also lets you get outside in an active way!
Have a Competition!
For the more competitive people out there fitness competitions can be loads of fun. Challenge a buddy to a push up or crunch challenge and try to beat them. It doesn't even have to be push ups or crunches, you could challenge them with a race or even have a plank challenge. The last time I did a plank challenge I got up to a minute!
Run to the beat of your iPod!
Adding music into your workout can motivate you to push yourself harder. You can even play little games with yourself while listening to music. Put your music on shuffle and jog to the beat of the music. If it's a fast song run as fast as you can for that amount of time. If it's a slow song run slow. If it's a combination then do a combination!
Swim like a fish!
Even though swimming isn't ideal for every season, it's a great way to exercise. Swimming has a lot of resistance due to the water which makes the workout more intense. You don't even have to do laps to have a good workout. You can burn a ton of calories just by having fun in the pool with your friends or family!
The main idea is to have fun with your exercise. If you find yourself getting bored with the same routine try on of these tips or make up your own fun active idea! If you have any great ideas post them in the comments section!
