How to Make Your Workouts Fun Again

Remember when you’d run around, climb trees, play games and get your exercise while enjoying every minute of it? Why not go back to playing for fitness? Join a softball team, go to the beach with friends and play Frisbee or walk/run along the beach. Take a long hike in the hills and stop for a picnic along the way. Make your exercise fun again. A weekend workout doesn’t have to be a 30-minute run, 45 minutes on the treadmill or a spinning class. Go back to the days of getting, and staying fit “by accident” by incorporating it into your life, your family, your weekends. Think of swimming and running races, and long adventurous bike rides. Include your kids (or someone else's if you don't have any of your own at home) – they’ll remind you how to have fun with exercise. Go ‘vintage’ with your training – put on your PF Flyers and play athlete.

You kind of have to do this with kids anyway! I personally cannot stand the gym so do all my exercise like this and when the weather is bad my son (4) and I have mad dancing sessions at home. I agree with you it is a much better way of enjoying exercise rather than seeing it as a chore
