Making Fitness Fun
We all have those days when we just don't want to train. Now that I have loads of cardio to do, I have to find some ways to make my workouts a little more fun...hopping on my treadmill just isn't cutting it! The good news is that it's warming up outside so getting outdoors is always an option now. This past week Enrique and I took Kira to the park. We did sprints with the speed harness while Kira played ball, and then we went on a hike on the trail. I needed to get my heart rate up, so I put Kira on my shoulders for the extra intensity. I got in my workout, and she had a blast! Here are a few other ideas:
Get some friends or the family together and play a sport like flag football, frisbee, soccer, or volleyball.
Go hiking outdoors - it's beautiful!
It's almost that time of year - swimming!
Go on a bike ride with the family, or go mountain biking
If the weather isn't nice, try out a class at your local gym. My favorites are Spinning, Zumba and Kickboxing.
Sometimes you have to make it fun to keep yourself motivated - don't give up!
