But That's Not Exercise!

When do you have fun while working out? 

When it doesn't feel like working out!

Sometimes the best forms of exercise are right under your nose and you don't even realize it! Anything that gets your heart pumping and your muscles moving can count. You just have to be creative. Do you want to boost your cardio stamina and maybe your coordination? Take a dance class. My gym offers Zumba classes, but it can be any kind of dance. Maybe you always wanted to learn ballroom or tap dancing. Now is a great time. Dancing burns calories like crazy!

Is your yard in need of care? Lugging around sod and bags of fertilizer is exercise. Digging ponds, planting flower beds, building a house; These all count as exercise!

It's warming up outside. This means that swimming is on the table. You don't have to rely on your indoor gym pool. Go outside. Hit the beach, the river, a pond. Swimming is the best cardio exercise you can do because it has little to no impact on your joints and bones.

Still need more ideas? Try these: skating, bowling, fishing, playing with your dog/kid. The list is really endless. Just find something you love and get moving!
